| 9 | Using Thrift with Ruby |
| 10 | ====================== |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Okay, I'll be honest. I learned Ruby by implementing the Thrift library in |
| 13 | Ruby and writing the code generator at the same time. I am not a trendy |
| 14 | web 2.0 programmer. Shit, I don't even know Rails. So if you care about Ruby |
| 15 | you will probably find that this is currently the least robust Thrift library |
| 16 | implementation. But there's plenty of time to improve it... |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The source code for the Ruby library is designed for installation with the |
| 19 | Python-esque setup.rb utility, which is included here and redistributable |
| 20 | under the GPL license. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | To install the Thrift Ruby libraries, become superuser and do: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ruby setup.rb config |
| 25 | ruby setup.rb setup |
| 26 | ruby setup.rb install |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Alternatively, if you know more about Ruby than me, you can improve the build |
| 29 | and installation process and contribute them back to this project. Wicked. |
