Hardcoded dbase dependency restricst installation #187
Description
The hardcoded dbasd dependency in ext/mkrf_conf.rb significantly restricts installation options.
For instance, in my (Windows) environment dbase is installed to a different path with gem install --install-dir The installation cannot find the gem (eventhough it is on %GEM_PATH%), causing it to download but worse, the --http-proxy option is “ignored” by this check causing the installation to fail if you are behind a proxy.
I’ve removed the dependency and correctly installed in my environment (no network access, gems installed in different folder)
suggestion is to put this dependency in the gemspec (have not checked impact of this change)
