Default options for gem commands for Ruby implementers.
The options here should be structured as an array of string “gem” command names as keys and a string of the default options as values.
Example:
def self.platform_defaults
{ 'install' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang', 'update' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang' }
end

Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of symbols. These symbols correspond to method names, instance variable names, or constant names (see def_delegator
). The value is the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.

Creats temporary source file from COMMON_HEADERS
and src. Yields the created source string and uses the returned string as the source code, if the block is given.
Sets $CPPFLAGS
to flags and yields. If the block returns a falsy value, $CPPFLAGS
is reset to its previous value, remains set to flags otherwise.
flags
a C preprocessor flag as a String
Returns a string represents the type of type, or member of type if member is not nil
.
Tests for the presence of a --with-
config or --without-
config option. Returns true
if the with option is given, false
if the without option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if with_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
Tests for the presence of an --enable-
config or --disable-
config option. Returns true
if the enable option is given, false
if the disable option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if enable_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
Generates a header file consisting of the various macro definitions generated by other methods such as have_func
and have_header. These are then wrapped in a custom #ifndef
based on the header
file name, which defaults to “extconf.h”.
For example:
# extconf.rb require 'mkmf' have_func('realpath') have_header('sys/utime.h') create_header create_makefile('foo')
The above script would generate the following extconf.h file:
#ifndef EXTCONF_H #define EXTCONF_H #define HAVE_REALPATH 1 #define HAVE_SYS_UTIME_H 1 #endif
Given that the create_header
method generates a file based on definitions set earlier in your extconf.rb file, you will probably want to make this one of the last methods you call in your script.
Generates the Makefile for your extension, passing along any options and preprocessor constants that you may have generated through other methods.
The target
name should correspond the name of the global function name defined within your C extension, minus the Init_
. For example, if your C extension is defined as Init_foo
, then your target would simply be “foo”.
If any “/” characters are present in the target name, only the last name is interpreted as the target name, and the rest are considered toplevel directory names, and the generated Makefile will be altered accordingly to follow that directory structure.
For example, if you pass “test/foo” as a target name, your extension will be installed under the “test” directory. This means that in order to load the file within a Ruby program later, that directory structure will have to be followed, e.g. require 'test/foo'
.
The srcprefix
should be used when your source files are not in the same directory as your build script. This will not only eliminate the need for you to manually copy the source files into the same directory as your build script, but it also sets the proper target_prefix
in the generated Makefile.
Setting the target_prefix
will, in turn, install the generated binary in a directory under your RbConfig::CONFIG['sitearchdir']
that mimics your local filesystem when you run make install
.
For example, given the following file tree:
ext/ extconf.rb test/ foo.c
And given the following code:
create_makefile('test/foo', 'test')
That will set the target_prefix
in the generated Makefile to “test”. That, in turn, will create the following file tree when installed via the make install
command:
/path/to/ruby/sitearchdir/test/foo.so
It is recommended that you use this approach to generate your makefiles, instead of copying files around manually, because some third party libraries may depend on the target_prefix
being set properly.
The srcprefix
argument can be used to override the default source directory, i.e. the current directory. It is included as part of the VPATH
and added to the list of INCFLAGS
.
Registers the given klass
as the class to be instantiated when parsing a URI with the given scheme
:
URI.register_scheme('MS_SEARCH', URI::Generic) # => URI::Generic URI.scheme_list['MS_SEARCH'] # => URI::Generic
Note that after calling String#upcase
on scheme
, it must be a valid constant name.
Returns a hash of the defined schemes:
URI.scheme_list # => {"MAILTO"=>URI::MailTo, "LDAPS"=>URI::LDAPS, "WS"=>URI::WS, "HTTP"=>URI::HTTP, "HTTPS"=>URI::HTTPS, "LDAP"=>URI::LDAP, "FILE"=>URI::File, "FTP"=>URI::FTP}
