I was trying to create some rake tasks to compile some software in a
directory other than where the rakefile was located. At first I tried:
Dir.chdir('lib/mc_sim') {
file 'Makefile' => 'extconf.rb' do |t|
sh 'ruby extconf.rb'
end
task :build_simulator => ['Makefile', :environment] do
sh 'make install'
end
}
However, the Dir.chdir didn't seem to work right. So, I changed it to be:
file 'lib/mc_sim/Makefile' => 'lib/mc_sim/extconf.rb' do |t|
Dir.chdir('lib/mc_sim') { sh 'ruby extconf.rb' }
end
task :build_simulator => ['lib/mc_sim/Makefile', :environment] do
Dir.chdir('lib/mc_sim') { sh 'make install' }
end
Is there a better (i.e. less verbose) way to do this?
