Installation

Ruby

To build bevy_scriptum with Ruby support a Ruby installation is needed to be present on your development machine.

The easiest way to produce a compatible Ruby installation is to use rbenv.

After installing rbenv along with its ruby-build plugin you can build and install a Ruby installation that will work with bevy_scriptum by executing:

CC=clang rbenv install 3.4.4

Above assumes that you also have clang installed on your system. For clang installation instruction consult your OS vendor provided documentation or clang official webiste.

If you rather not use rbenv you are free to supply your own installation of Ruby provided the following is true about it:

• it is compiled with clang
• it is compiled as a static library
• it is accessible as ruby within PATH or RUBY environment variable is set to path of desired ruby binary.

Main Library

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bevy = "0.16"
bevy_scriptum = { version = "0.8", features = ["ruby"] }

If you need a different version of bevy you need to use a matching bevy_scriptum version according to the bevy support matrix

Ruby also needs dynamic symbol resolution and since bevy_scriptum links Ruby statically the following build.rs file is needed to be present in project root directory.

fn main() {
    println!("cargo:rustc-link-arg=-rdynamic");
}
