Is it possible to run gvim 8.2, win 10 and still use command-t
I have tried a lot of different things, and I have managed to run ruby extconf.rb and make successfully, but I'm getting this message when I run ':CommandT'
command-t.vim could not load the C extension Please see INSTALLATION and TROUBLE-SHOOTING in the help Vim Ruby version: 2.4.10-p364 Expected version: 1.9.2-p290 For more information type: :help command-t
I've used ruby 2.4.10 to compile the thing with no error, so I don't understand why it still wants to be 1.9.2-p290.
What I did to compile was launch "C:\Ruby24\msys32\mingw32.exe" and export PATH=/c/Ruby24/bin:/c/Ruby24/bin/ruby_builtin_dlls:$PATH Then I went to /c/Users/Steinbitglis/vimfiles/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t/ext/command-t and ran ruby extconf.rb and make
Gvim seems to be happy and runs ruby statements "ruby extconf.rb" seems happy "make" runs with no issue
The reason for the message regarding 1.9.2-p290 was that i had an old install of command-t in another folder. When I removed that, I managed to run CommandT, but it crashed for other reasons. Probably ruby 2.4 isn't compatible. I guess, that the original question stands, even though I have now rolled back to the old 1.9.2-p290 compiled version, since that's working.
Probably ruby 2.4 isn't compatible.
In principle, there's no reason why v2.4 shouldn't work. I'm using different versions of Ruby on different machines (v2.6.3-p62 on the machine I'm on right now, albeit a macOS machine); there's nothing special about that version though, as I've used older and newer Ruby versions in different places.
One thing to bear in mind is it's always worth doing a make clean as part of any of these troubleshooting sessions, because there's always a chance that you end up not testing the artifact that you think you're testing (as you discovered with the rogue version you found in another folder).
Given the big rewrite for v6.0.x, I'm closing all older issues as there is unlikely to be anything significant happening on the 5-x-devel branch from here on[^patches]. Feedback issue for 6.0.x is here:

[^patches]: Patches and PRs would be welcome, but my personal efforts are going to be directed towards main.
