Subject: compilation ignorance

i am using Ruby 1.6.6 win pragprog distro
i haven't moved much in C circles, so please help out with obvious
conceptual errors too. (the newbie speaks)

i have a need to compile a library, in my case NArray
(sideline:
i've tried the accompanying extconf.rb, the cygwin make, but it fails with:
"make: *** No rule to make target `narray.obj', needed by `narray.so'.
Stop."
hmmm. not much help that)

this may or may not have to do with me using the pragprog distro (cygwin gcc
not working well with msvc, i don't know)

so i please ask someone to quench my thirst:

(the ancient art of compiling...the where the how) or
(the secret place where windows compiled libraries run free)

thank you

regards
repeater
