MRubyUtils

This gem adds some helpers to MRuby::Build and provides usefull Rake tasks to build mruby binaries within a docker environment.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mruby_utils'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mruby_utils

Add this line to your applications's Rakefile:

require 'mruby_utils/rake_tasks'

Now the following tasks are available:

$ rake -T

rake clean         # clean build artefacts
rake compile       # compile binary
rake dockerize     # create docker-compose.yml file
rake release       # generate a release tarball
rake shell         # open shell
rake sshd          # start sshd
rake test          # run all tests
rake test:bintest  # run integration tests
rake test:mtest    # run unit tests
rake update        # update mruby and all mrbgems
rake update:mgems  # update all git based mrbgems
rake update:mruby  # update mruby
rake version       # show version

Make sure to create a docker-compose.yml file before you start:

$ rake dockerize

Add this line to your applications's build_config.rb:

require 'mruby_utils/build_helpers'

Now you can specify the required runtime version of glibc even the build compiles with a newer version.

MRuby::Build.new('x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-glibc-2.12') do |conf|
  conf.glibc_version = '2.12'
end

Enable compiler optimizations:

MRuby::Build.new('x86_64-pc-linux-gnu') do |conf|
  conf.enable_optimizations
end

Control how to link with libs:

MRuby::Build.new('x86_64-pc-linux-gnu') do |conf|
  conf.static = true
end

In case the application uses mruby-ssh or mruby-sftp:

MRuby::Build.new('x86_64-pc-linux-gnu') do |conf|
  conf.configure_libssh2(openssl: false, threading: true, zlib: true)
end

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
