Which language package manager has the best experience for shipping native dependencies?
-
-
mkmf is implemented pretty terribly, but it works very well, and other systems should port it to a nicer impl.
-
So this is a library that gems use to consume native libs? Does this logic run at gem install time or at runtime?
-
It runs at "compile" time.
-
Aka gem install time. If you want runtime, the ffi gem provides that, but too often you want to use C for glue so you can use C macros etc.
-
Ok that makes sense. Is there any security concern running code on install of arbitrary 3rd party gems?
