From: Ralph Kon Date: 2006-03-12T08:13:36+09:00 Subject: newbie question about mkmf and dir_config Please help a beginner! I'm trying to write my first c-extension, and I don't understand the dir_config command. I need to include 2 .h headers and a library for some equipment. Does the 'name' in dir_config('name') refer to a directory, the header file, or the library? Do I need to include multiple dir_config lines or multiple options in the command line, one for each seperate file? The pickaxe section on this wasn't written with total beginners in mind.
