Ruby Rake

[Manas Dadarkar]

Hi,
"make" has a -e option in which it reads environment variables and
uses those values for variables defined in the makefile. For e.g.
enviroment variable CC=cc -g can be used with make -e to get a debug
build. Is there something similar with Rake? And what is the ruby
equivalent of CC. Should I set in my environment RUBY=ruby
<ruby_options>

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no Ruby equivalent to cc.

Hi Manas,
You can access environment variables in Rake like this:
ENV['VARIABLE_NAME']. And you can set the options for running ruby
with the RUBY_OPT environment variable
