Ruby2CExtension

Ruby2CExtension is a Ruby to C extension translator/compiler. It takes any Ruby source file, parses it using Ruby’s builtin parser and then translates the abstract syntax tree into “equivalent” C extension code.

Requirements

---

• Ruby 1.8.4, 1.8.5 or 1.8.6

• RubyNode (available at rubynode.rubyforge.org/)

Installation

---

Just run (as root):

gem install ruby2cext

Or if you do not use the gem:

ruby setup.rb

This will install Ruby2CExtension to the default locations. Optionally you can supply some options to setup.rb to customize the installation (see “ruby setup.rb –help”).
