FXRuby and Ruby-GNOME2 both work on Cygwin, but they, and the underlying
C/C++ dependencies, must be built from source; Linux or Windows native
binary packages won't work.
I just tried building wxRuby2; the build system needs some tweaks, and
it's extremely unstable, so I don't plan to support it right now.
Cygwin Ports provides Cygwin packages for both of these; further
discussion about those packages is OT here, and should be directed to
the Cygwin Ports list.
