[Wxruby-dev] Corrections for Windows build error

[Curt Hibbs]

Thanks Roy for the changes to fix Windows builds. I'm going to forward this
back to the wxRuby list so that Kevin can incorporate your changes into the
cvs repo (I would do it, but I'm leaving on an airplane in a couple of
hours).

Thanks again,
Curt

Hi Curt

Changes below were required in extconf.rb to fix the ^Ms, I dont know how
this affects unix, probably should work okay since 'mkmf.rb' does.
I manually generated the .cpp and .h files for button, window but am now
stuck
on this error
