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.
