    end

0.7.0 / 2009-12-08¶ ↑

• Enhancements

  • Allow generation of JRuby extensions. Thanks to Alex Coles (myabc) for the contribution. This will allow, with proper JDK tools, cross compilation of JRuby gems from MRI.

    Rake::JavaExtensionTask.new('my_java_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
      # most of ExtensionTask options can be used
      # plus, java_compiling:
      ext.java_compiling do |gem_spec|
        gem_spec.post_install_message = "This is a native JRuby gem!"
      end
    end
    

    Please note that cross-compiling JRuby gems requires either JRUBY_HOME or JRUBY_PARENT_CLASSPATH environment variables being properly set.

  • Allow alteration of the Gem Specification when cross compiling. Closes GH-3 This is useful to indicate a custom requirement message, like DLLs installation or similar.

    Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
      ext.cross_compile = true
      # ...
      ext.cross_compiling do |gem_spec|
        gem_spec.post_install_message = "You've installed a binary version of this gem"
      end
    end
    

• Bugfixes

  • Usage of dup to duplicate gemspec instead of YAML dumping.

  • No longer support Ruby older than 1.8.6

  • No longer support RubyGems older than 1.3.5

  • Force definition of binary directory and executables. Closes GH-11

  • Workaround path with spaces issues using relative paths. Closes GH-6

  • Removed gemspec, GitHub gems no more

• Known issues

  • Usage of rake-compiler under projects with Jeweler requires some tweaks Please read issue GH-73 for Jeweler: github.com/technicalpickles/jeweler/issues#issue/73

    For a workaround, look here: gist.github.com/251663

0.6.0 / 2009-07-25¶ ↑

• Enhancements

  • Implemented 'fat-binaries' generation for cross compiling (for now). Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the suggestion and original idea.

    rake cross native gem RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.8.6:1.9.1

    Will package extensions for 1.8 and 1.9 versions of Ruby.

  • Can now cross compile extensions for 1.9 using 1.8.x as base. Be warned: works from 1.8 to 1.9, but not if your default ruby is 1.9

    rake cross compile RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.9.1

  • Allow simultaneous versions of Ruby to compile extensions. This change allow 1.8.x compiles co-exist with 1.9.x ones and don't override each other.

    Please perform rake clobber prior compiling again.

  • Allow optional source file URL for cross-compile tasks. (Thanks to deepj for the patches)

    rake-compiler cross-ruby VERSION=1.9.1-p0 SOURCE=http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.1-p0.tar.bz2

• Bugfixes

  • Removed strict versioning for gems since it clash with fat binaries. From now on, if your gem only targets a specific version of Ruby, please indicate it in the Gem::Specification (required_ruby_version)

0.5.0 / 2009-04-25¶ ↑

• Enhancements

  • Allow generation of multiple gems for Windows (EXPERIMENTAL) This allows build gems for both VC6 and MinGW builts of Ruby (Thanks to Jonathan Stott for the suggestion)

    Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
      ext.cross_compile = true
      ext.cross_platform = ['i386-mswin32', 'i386-mingw32']
    end
    

0.4.1 / 2009-04-09¶ ↑

• Enhancements

  • Target specific versions of Ruby when generating binaries. This avoids installing a 1.8.x binary gem in 1.9.x and viceversa. (Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the patches)

• Bugfixes

  • No longer raises error if rake-compiler configuration is missing. Not all users of a project would have it installed. (Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the patch)

0.4.0 / 2009-04-03¶ ↑

• Enhancements

  • Bended the convention for extension folder. Defining ext_dir for custom extension location.

    Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension') do |ext|
      ext.ext_dir = 'custom/location'         # look into custom/location
    end                                       # instead of ext/my_extension
    

  • Better detection of mingw target across Linux/OSX. Exposed it as Rake::ExtensionCompiler

  • Display list of available tasks when calling rake-compiler script

  • Track Ruby full versioning (x.y.z). This will help the compilation of extensions targetting 1.8.6/7 and 1.9.1

• Bugfixes

  • Better output of Rake development tasks (Thanks to Luis Parravicini).

  • Proper usage of Gem::Platform for native gems (Thanks to Dirkjan Bussink).

  • Don't use autoload for YAML (present problems with Ruby 1.9.1).

0.3.1 / 2009-01-09¶ ↑

• Enhancements

  • Download cross-ruby source code using HTTP instead of FTP.

  • Disabled Tcl/Tk extension building on cross-ruby (helps with 1.9).

• Bugfixes

  • Workaround bug introduced by lack of Gem::Specification cloning. Fixes DM LH #757.

  • Use proper binary extension on OSX (reported by Dirkjan Bussink).

  • Ensure lib/binary task is defined prior clear of requisites.

0.3.0 / 2008-12-07¶ ↑

• New features

  • Let you specify the Ruby version used for cross compilation instead of default one.

    rake cross compile RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.8
    

• Enhancements

  • Properly update rake-compiler configuration when new version is installed.

  • Automated release process to RubyForge, yay!

• Bugfixes

  • Corrected documentation to reflect the available options

0.2.1 / 2008-11-30¶ ↑

• New features

  • Allow cross compilation (cross compile) using mingw32 on Linux or OSX.

  • Allow packaging of gems for Windows on Linux or OSX.

• Enhancements

  • Made generation of extensions safe and target folders per-platform
