NAME

       rake-compiler - Rake-based Ruby Extension (C, Java) task generator

DESCRIPTION

       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.

USAGE

       Same as Rake. see man (1) rake.
