Hi,

I am writing a C extension but I want to include some classes written in
pure ruby. How can I package the pure ruby files so that it is install
when the user runs
ruby extconf.rb && make && make install

Thanks

Paul

Create a directory lib, and put the pure ruby files in this directory

You can use Minero Aoki’s install.rb

  • put extconf.rb + sources in ext/extname/
  • create a MANIFEST file in ext/extname, containing the names of all files
    in that dir
  • put the .rb files in lib/

Add README, TODO, LICENSE, etc in the top dir (and install.rb of course :slight_smile:
and you have a nice ‘standard’ package.

Create a directory lib, and put the pure ruby files in this directory

How would I do that?
