Need Help Creating Gems

ruby-talk
1

Hello all,

I've successfully created a RubyGem, but I do have one problem. I have a
bin/ directory in my Gem, and I assumed any file in that directory would
automatically get added to the bin/ directory of the location where gems are
stored locally on a machine. However, this does not happen. Is there an
extra argument I need to supply in the Rakefile to make this happen?

Thanks in advance! -- BTR

Gem Spec documentation:
http://docs.rubygems.org/

bindir:
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#bindir

executables:
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#executables

if executables array is empty, no script will be made executable.

HTH,

Luis
