        rake-compiler cross-ruby VERSION=1.9.2-p0 HOST=i686-w64-mingw32
        rake-compiler cross-ruby HOST=i386-mingw32 (OSX mingw32 port)

0.7.0 / 2009-12-08

  • Enhancements
    • Allow generation of JRuby extensions. Thanks to Alex Coles (myabc) for the contribution. This will allow, with proper JDK tools, cross compilation of JRuby gems from MRI.
        Rake::JavaExtensionTask.new('my_java_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
          # most of ExtensionTask options can be used
          # plus, java_compiling:
          ext.java_compiling do |gem_spec|
            gem_spec.post_install_message = "This is a native JRuby gem!"
          end
        end
      

      Please note that cross-compiling JRuby gems requires either JRUBY_HOME or JRUBY_PARENT_CLASSPATH environment variables being properly set.

    • Allow alteration of the Gem Specification when cross compiling. Closes GH-3 This is useful to indicate a custom requirement message, like DLLs installation or similar.
        Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
          ext.cross_compile = true
          # ...
          ext.cross_compiling do |gem_spec|
            gem_spec.post_install_message = "You've installed a binary version of this gem"
          end
        end
      
  • Bugfixes
    • Detect GNU make independently of distribution based naming. Thanks to flori for patches.
    • Usage of dup to duplicate gemspec instead of YAML dumping.
    • No longer support Ruby older than 1.8.6
    • No longer support RubyGems older than 1.3.5
    • Force definition of binary directory and executables. Closes GH-11
    • Workaround path with spaces issues using relative paths. Closes GH-6
    • Removed gemspec, GitHub gems no more
  • Known issues

0.6.0 / 2009-07-25

  • Enhancements
    • Implemented ‘fat-binaries’ generation for cross compiling (for now). Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the suggestion and original idea.
        rake cross native gem RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.8.6:1.9.1
      

      Will package extensions for 1.8 and 1.9 versions of Ruby.

    • Can now cross compile extensions for 1.9 using 1.8.x as base. Be warned: works from 1.8 to 1.9, but not if your default ruby is 1.9
        rake cross compile RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.9.1
      
    • Allow simultaneous versions of Ruby to compile extensions. This change allow 1.8.x compiles co-exist with 1.9.x ones and don‘t override each other.

      Please perform rake clobber prior compiling again.

    • Allow optional source file URL for cross-compile tasks. (Thanks to deepj for the patches)
        rake-compiler cross-ruby VERSION=1.9.1-p0 SOURCE=http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.1-p0.tar.bz2
      
  • Bugfixes
    • Removed strict versioning for gems since it clash with fat binaries. From now on, if your gem only targets a specific version of Ruby, please indicate it in the Gem::Specification (required_ruby_version)

0.5.0 / 2009-04-25

  • Enhancements
    • Allow generation of multiple gems for Windows (EXPERIMENTAL) This allows build gems for both VC6 and MinGW builts of Ruby (Thanks to Jonathan Stott for the suggestion)
        Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension', GEM_SPEC) do |ext|
          ext.cross_compile = true
          ext.cross_platform = ['i386-mswin32', 'i386-mingw32']
        end
      

0.4.1 / 2009-04-09

  • Enhancements
    • Target specific versions of Ruby when generating binaries. This avoids installing a 1.8.x binary gem in 1.9.x and viceversa. (Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the patches)
  • Bugfixes
    • No longer raises error if rake-compiler configuration is missing. Not all users of a project would have it installed. (Thanks to Aaron Patterson for the patch)

0.4.0 / 2009-04-03

  • Enhancements
    • Bended the convention for extension folder. Defining ext_dir for custom extension location.
        Rake::ExtensionTask.new('my_extension') do |ext|
          ext.ext_dir = 'custom/location'         # look into custom/location
        end                                       # instead of ext/my_extension
      
    • Better detection of mingw target across Linux/OSX. Exposed it as Rake::ExtensionCompiler
    • Display list of available tasks when calling rake-compiler script
    • Track Ruby full versioning (x.y.z). This will help the compilation of extensions targetting 1.8.6/7 and 1.9.1
  • Bugfixes
    • Better output of Rake development tasks (Thanks to Luis Parravicini).
    • Proper usage of Gem::Platform for native gems (Thanks to Dirkjan Bussink).
    • Don‘t use autoload for YAML (present problems with Ruby 1.9.1).

0.3.1 / 2009-01-09

  • Enhancements
    • Download cross-ruby source code using HTTP instead of FTP.
    • Disabled Tcl/Tk extension building on cross-ruby (helps with 1.9).
  • Bugfixes
    • Workaround bug introduced by lack of Gem::Specification cloning. Fixes DM LH 757.
    • Use proper binary extension on OSX (reported by Dirkjan Bussink).
    • Ensure lib/binary task is defined prior clear of requisites.

0.3.0 / 2008-12-07

  • New features
    • Let you specify the Ruby version used for cross compilation instead of default one.
        rake cross compile RUBY_CC_VERSION=1.8
      
  • Enhancements
    • Properly update rake-compiler configuration when new version is installed.
    • Automated release process to RubyForge, yay!
  • Bugfixes
    • Corrected documentation to reflect the available options

0.2.1 / 2008-11-30

  • New features
    • Allow cross compilation (cross compile) using mingw32 on Linux or OSX.
    • Allow packaging of gems for Windows on Linux or OSX.
  • Enhancements
    • Made generation of extensions safe and target folders per-platform
  • Bugfixes
    • Ensure binaries for the specific platform are copied before packaging.
