Subject: Re: Serial Port Control with Ruby win32serial-0.5

Thanks for the help.  I got nmake installed in the c:\ruby\bin
directory.  I then went to the directory where the application was
downloaded to: c:\ruby\win32serial and ran nmake.  It appeared to work.
 I then did the following which I'll paste below.  Notice at the end I
get an error and the code appears to stop.

C:\ruby\win32serial>nmake makefile

'makefile' is up-to-date

I"m using ruby 1.8.5.  Is there should I be trying to install to a
particular directory/path??
