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  differ-
       ent  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.

NAME

     rake -- Ruby Make

SYNOPSIS

     rake [--f Rakefile] [--version] [-CGNPgnqstv] [-D [PATTERN]] [-E CODE] [-I LIBDIR] [-R RAKELIBDIR] [-T [PATTERN]] [-e CODE] [-p CODE]
	  [-r MODULE] [--rules] [variable=value] target ...

DESCRIPTION

     Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the regular make(1) command.

     Rake has the following features:

     o	 Rakefiles (Rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax.  No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax
	 to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).

     o	 Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.

     o	 Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.

     o	 Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths.

     o	 A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.

OPTIONS

     --version		 Display the program version.

     -C
     --classic-namespace
			 Put Task and FileTask in the top level namespace

     -D [PATTERN]
     --describe [PATTERN]
			 Describe the tasks (matching optional PATTERN), then exit.

     -E CODE
     --execute-continue CODE
			 Execute some Ruby code, then continue with normal task processing.

     -G
     --no-system
     --nosystem 	 Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore system wide rakefiles.

     -I LIBDIR
     --libdir LIBDIR	 Include LIBDIR in the search path for required modules.

     -N
     --no-search
     --nosearch 	 Do not search parent directories for the Rakefile.

     -P
     --prereqs		 Display the tasks and dependencies, then exit.

     -R RAKELIBDIR
     --rakelib RAKELIBDIR
     --rakelibdir RAKELIBDIR
			 Auto-import any .rake files in RAKELIBDIR.  (default is rakelib )

     -T [PATTERN]
     --tasks [PATTERN]	 Display the tasks (matching optional PATTERN) with descriptions, then exit.

     -e CODE
     --execute CODE	 Execute some Ruby code and exit.

     -f FILE
     --rakefile FILE	 Use FILE as the rakefile.

     -h
     --help		 Prints a summary of options.

     -g
     --system		 Using system wide (global) rakefiles (usually ~/.rake/*.rake ).

     -n
     --dry-run		 Do a dry run without executing actions.

     -p CODE
     --execute-print CODE
			 Execute some Ruby code, print the result, then exit.

     -q
     --quiet		 Do not log messages to standard output.

     -r MODULE
     --require MODULE	 Require MODULE before executing rakefile.

     -s
     --silent		 Like --quiet, but also suppresses the 'in directory' announcement.

     -t
     --trace		 Turn on invoke/execute tracing, enable full backtrace.

     -v
     --verbose		 Log message to standard output (default).

     --rules		 Trace the rules resolution.
