Hi all,

Ruby 1.8.4 (one click)
gems 0.9.0

I've got a C extension that I'm trying to install via gems on my Windows box
called 'net-proto'.  I can build and install the gem locally with no
problem.  However, when I try to install it remotely I get this error:

C:\ruby\src>gem install net-proto
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=c:/ruby/bin/ruby

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Gem files will remain installed in c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-
proto-1.0.1 for inspection.

I definitely have cl in my %PATH% so I'm not sure why it's not picking it
up:

C:\>cl -v
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 12.00.8168 for 80x86

There is no mkmf.log and the gem_make.out file is empty.  Below is the
gemspec I used to build the gem currently on RubyForge:

require "rubygems"

summary = "The net-proto package provides the getprotobyname(), "
summary += "getprotobynumber() and the getprotoent() methods for Ruby."

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |gem|
   gem.name         = "net-proto"
   gem.version      = "1.0.1"
   gem.author       = "Daniel J. Berger"
   gem.email        = "djberg96@gmail.com"
   gem.homepage     = "http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/sysutils"
   gem.platform     = Gem::Platform::RUBY
   gem.summary      = summary
   gem.description  = summary
   gem.test_file    = "test/tc_netproto.rb"
   gem.has_rdoc     = true
   gem.extra_rdoc_files  = ["CHANGES","README"]
   gem.rubyforge_project = "sysutils"
   files = Dir["doc/*"] + Dir["test/*"] + Dir["[A-Z]*"]
   files.delete_if{ |item| item.include?("CVS") }
   gem.files = files
end

if $0 == __FILE__
   spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 1.8.0'
   spec.extensions = ["extconf.rb"]

   case RUBY_PLATFORM
      when /win32|windows|mingw|cygwin/i
         file = 'lib/net/windows.c'
      when /linux/i
         file = 'lib/net/linux.c'
      when /sunos|solaris/i
         file = 'lib/net/sunos.c'
      else
         file = 'lib/net/generic.c'
   end

   spec.files += ['lib/version.h', file]

   Gem.manage_gems
   Gem::Builder.new(spec).build
end

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
