Overview
Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the regular make(1) command.
Rake has the following features:
-
Rakefiles (Rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).
-
Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
-
Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.
-
Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths.
-
A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
