Thanks for the issue: where did you install the chipmunk.dll?

It loaded and seemed to work, as far as being able to create a new CP::Space, at least, when I just renamed libchipmunk.dll as chipmunk.dll. Duh!

However, I am positive that at some point in the past I had a much more horrid ffi error going on that I couldn't fix so easily. It also very occassionally worked but mostly didn't, and I had similar problems with other ffi things I tried. Can't remember what the issue was exactly.

Since the chipmunk (non-ffi) gem comes as a binary or with auto-compiled source, it is actually easier to distribute, so I'll stick with it, now that someone is maintaining it again. Sorry if I mislead any potential users of your version about it still not working on Windows!

No problem, I'll mark this as closed.
