After hours of slaving I finally got Xapian working on windows with a ruby binding (I use it for Redmine). I know this is far from the right way to do it, and is rather hacky. But it works! Also I found little starting points online when trying to compile Xapian on windows. So hoping this helps someone else a bit!
