Loica framework build toolchain
Crossbuild MRuby apps to multiple targets.
Status: Experimental
Right now this is an experimental work so it's API is very likely to change.
The end goal is to eventually be able to develop multiplatform applications in MRuby with a simple build toolchain and a consistent API fostering code reuse.
Concepts:
These are some basic concepts behind this build tool:
- Application: The global project composed of at least one target
- Target: MRuby crossbuild targeting a specific platform
- Fragment: MRuby gem grouping a fragment of the application shared by one or more targets
- Platform: MRuby toolchain setup for a specific application platform (like the iOS, Android or Web application platforms)
Inspirations:
This project builds upon the work of these other projects:
- MRuby: Portable Ruby that can be cross-compiled!
- WebRuby: Proved that MRuby can be compiled to asm.js.
- MobiRuby: Proved that MRuby can be compiled to iOS.
- MRuby androideabi toolchain: Proved that MRuby can be compiled to Android.
