2.8.8 / 2024-11-14

2.8.8 / 2024-11-14

Improved

• Raise an exception with a clear error message when xzcat is needed but is not installed. (#152) @flavorjones

2.8.7 / 2024-05-31

2.8.7 / 2024-05-31

Added

• When setting the C compiler through the MiniPortile constructor, the preferred keyword argument is now :cc_command. The original :gcc_command is still supported. (#144 by @flavorjones)
• Add support for extracting xz-compressed tarballs on OpenBSD. (#141 by @postmodern)
• Add OpenBSD support to the experimental method MakeMakefile#mkmf_config. (#141 by @flavorjones)

Changed

• MiniPortileCMake now detects the C and C++ compiler the same way MiniPortile does: by examining environment variables, then using kwargs, then looking in RbConfig (in that order). (#144 by @flavorjones)
• GPG file verification error messages are captured in the raised exception. Previously these errors went to stderr. (#145 by @flavorjones)

Added

• When using CMake on FreeBSD, default to clang's "cc" and "c++" compilers. (#139 by @mudge)

2.8.5 / 2023-10-22

2.8.5 / 2023-10-22

Added

• New methods #lib_path and #include_path which point at the installed directories under ports. (by @flavorjones)
• Add config param for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, which now defaults to Release. (#136 by @Watson1978)

Experimental

Introduce experimental support for MiniPortile#mkmf_config which sets up MakeMakefile variables to properly link against the recipe. This should make it easier for C extensions to package third-party libraries. (by @flavorjones)

• With no arguments, will set up just $INCFLAGS, $libs, and $LIBPATH.
• Optionally, if provided a pkg-config file, will use that config to more precisely set $INCFLAGS, $libs, $LIBPATH, and $CFLAGS/$CXXFLAGS.
• Optionally, if provided the name of a static archive, will rewrite linker flags to ensure correct linkage.

Note that the behavior may change slightly before official support is announced. Please comment on #118 if you have feedback.
