I'd recommend using mkmf to build your extension as part of the
installation process, rather than trying to build it yourself. That
way your extension should work on any Ruby installation. I don't know
what formal documentation there is for it; personally I just copied
the extconf.rb script from another project (which copied it from
another project...), so feel free to repeat the pattern if it helps.


Obviously if you want to distribute a binary version of your extension
for the convenience of your users (since not all OS X users have gcc
installed by default), you'll need to create a separate distribution
for each Ruby build you want to support. But hey, you can deal with
that problem when you get to it.
