mkmf

问题 RoR is nice, but sometimes makes me want to bang my head against the wall (and it's probably my fault anyway). I'm simply trying to install the Thin web-client gem, and when I run sudo gem install thin , I get the following error (it requires the installation of the eventmachine gem first): sudo gem install thin Fetching: eventmachine-1.0.1.gem (100%) Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing thin: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin

问题 I'd like to organize the C source code like this: + / | |___ + ext | | | |___ + native_extension | | | |___ + lib | | | | | |___ (Source files are kept in here - may contain sub-folders) | | | |___ native_extension.c | |___ native_extension.h | |___ extconf.rb | |___ + lib | | | |___ (Ruby source code) | |___ Rakefile I'm having trouble getting this setup to work correctly with mkmf . The files in native_extension/lib , which are included by native_extension.c , are being completely ignored.
