Ruby-libjit 0.1.0
Copyright (C) 2008 Paul Brannan

Ruby-libjit is a wrapper for the libjit library.  It provides basic
functionality for jit-compiling functions, including integrating those
functions as callable methods from within Ruby.  Abstractions are also
provided so that jit code may be written in a ruby-like manner.

Please see the file COPYING for license information.

A simple example:

  :include: sample/simple.rb

Looping structures and other abstractions are provided to make writing
jit code easier:

  :include: sample/fib.rb

To build ruby-libjit, you will need to install libjit.  If it is not
available pre-compiled for your platform, you may build the latest
release like this:

  $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu/pnet/libjit-0.1.0.tar.gz
  $ tar xvfz libjit-0.1.0.tar.gz
  $ cd libjit-0.1.0
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

Or the latest development version like this:

  $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libjit.git
  $ cd libjit
  $ ./bootstrap
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

To build ruby-libjit, run setup.rb:

  $ ruby setup.rb config
  $ ruby setup.rb setup
  $ sudo ruby setup.rb install
