% make
% sudo make install

To compile and install a particular sub-binding, you can add arguments:

% ruby extconf.rb [subdir]...
e.g.) ruby extconf.rb glib2 pango atk gdk_pixbuf2 gtk2

Or you can compile each sub-binding:

% cd <each sub-directory>
% ruby extconf.rb
% make
% sudo make install

extconf.rb options

• --ruby

  • ruby directory
