| This directory contains the Ruby extension that implements Protocol Buffers |
| functionality in Ruby. |
| |
| The Ruby extension makes use of generated Ruby code that defines message and |
| enum types in a Ruby DSL. You may write definitions in this DSL directly, but |
| we recommend using protoc's Ruby generation support with .proto files. The |
| build process in this directory only installs the extension; you need to |
| install protoc as well to have Ruby code generation functionality. |
| |
| Installation |
| ------------ |
| |
| To build this Ruby extension, you will need: |
| |
| * Rake |
| * Bundler |
| * Ruby development headers |
| * a C compiler |
| |
| First, install the required Ruby gems: |
| |
| $ sudo gem install bundler rake rake-compiler rspec rubygems-tasks |
| |
| Then build the Gem: |
| |
| $ rake gem |
| $ gem install pkg/protobuf-$VERSION.gem |
| |
| This gem includes the upb parsing and serialization library as a single-file |
| amalgamation. It is up-to-date with upb git commit |
| `535bc2fe2f2b467f59347ffc9449e11e47791257`. |
