why ruby gem with C extension require a unique ruby version?
Dears,
I am creating a ruby gem that use a C extension. What I see is that this gem requires a specific ruby version to run. The one that was used to buld the gem and generate a Makefile.
How can I make my gem to run with other ruby versions too?
My code: https://github.com/AngoDev/kryptonita
Thanks

Don't check in your Makefile or anything generated by it (whirlpool.bundle). These get generated at install time by RubyGems. See the capp gem for an example.
You probably want to use rake-compiler as it makes developing gems with C extensions much easier. This is described in the guide for gems with extensions
