Description-en: Rake-based Ruby Extension (C, Java) task generator
The rake-compiler is first and foremost a productivity tool for Ruby
developers. It's goal is to make the busy developer's life easier by
simplifying the building and packaging of Ruby extensions by
simplifying code and reducing duplication.
.
It follows *convention over configuration* by advocating a standardized
build and package structure for both C and Java based RubyGems.
.
Rake-compiler is the result of many hard-won experiences dealing with
several diverse RubyGems that provided native extensions for different
platforms and different user configurations in different ways. Details
such as differences in code portability, differences in code clarity,
and differences in project directory structure often made it very
difficult for newcomers to those RubyGems.
