| Using Thrift with Ruby |
| ====================== |
| |
| Okay, I'll be honest. I learned Ruby by implementing the Thrift library in |
| Ruby and writing the code generator at the same time. I am not a trendy |
| web 2.0 programmer. Shit, I don't even know Rails. So if you care about Ruby |
| you will probably find that this is currently the least robust Thrift library |
| implementation. But there's plenty of time to improve it... |
| |
| The source code for the Ruby library is designed for installation with the |
| Python-esque setup.rb utility, which is included here and redistributable |
| under the GPL license. |
| |
| To install the Thrift Ruby libraries, become superuser and do: |
| |
| ruby setup.rb config |
| ruby setup.rb setup |
| ruby setup.rb install |
| |
| Alternatively, if you know more about Ruby than me, you can improve the build |
| and installation process and contribute them back to this project. Wicked. |
