gemspec: How to install a Ruby extension into GEM/lib/SOME_DIR/rather than GEM/lib/

[Iñaki Baz Castillo]

Hi, supposing a gemspec containing:

Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
spec.name =3D "xxx-handler"
[...]
spec.extensions =3D ["ext/xxx_parser/extconf.rb"]
end


when running "gem install xx-handler" the compiled extension
xxx_parser.so is installed into GEMS_DIR/xxx-handler/lib/ directory.
Is it possible to tell the gemspec file to install the extension in a
subdirectory within GEMS_DIR/xxx-handler/lib/ ?

Thanks a lot.

Solved. Using "create_makefile(dir/name)" does the work (thanks to Luis Lav=
ena).
