Iconv Support on Windows

June 6, 2005 at 8:09 pm · Filed under Ruby on Rails

By default the inconv.dll is not installed when using the gem installation for rails on win32.

It was necessary to therefore retrieve the latest win32 binaries for libiconv from GNU.

Then, I needed to retrieve the source files for Ruby itself.

The iconv.dll from the GNU sources goes in c:\ruby\bin\iconv.dll.

The iconv.so file from the Ruby-win32 sources goes in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32

Note that if this doesn’t work, you’ll need to find the correct version of iconv to use in conjunction withe RoR sources.
