= pmsrb
http://pmsrb.rubyforge.org
== DESCRIPTION:
pmsrb is a binary (p)ackage (m)anagement (s)ystem meant for gracefully handling the differences in binary distribution on different platforms. This is useful when you rely on a large C/C++ library and would like to distribute the binaries in a cross-platform way.
For example different linux distros use RPM, deb, etc. OSX often needs to compile an xcode project to install a binary. Windows is actually much cleaner in this occasion.
We could rely on the user installing these binary packages, but often times problems arise when someone installs version 1.4.6 by mistake, and your bindings are built against 1.4.7.
On top of this there are sometimes issues you need to hack around when using swig on source libraries. That means that the binaries you distribute may be different than the ones that are publicly available.
This library handles all these edge cases, and automates maintenance on upgrading, platform support, etc.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
There are no problems whatsoever. But let me know if you find some.
PMS supports:
*downloading from ftp/http
*uploading via scp,ftp
*extracting to .tgz, .zip
*archiving to .tgz, .zip
*building(via shell commands)
*delicious low fat Platform
== SYNOPSIS:
PMS::vendor do
working_directory File.dirname(__FILE__)+"/tmp"
if Platform.windows?
download "http://bullet.googlecode.com/files/bullet-#Bulletrb::VERSION::VENDOR.zip"
else
download "http://bullet.googlecode.com/files/bullet-#Bulletrb::VERSION::VENDOR.tgz"
end
extract
build "./configure", "jam" if Platform.linux? || Platform.mac?
end
== REQUIREMENTS:
Windows, Mac, or Linux. Ruby 1.8.
== INSTALL:
sudo gem install pmsrb
