not a way to have gems run pre-post install steps?

There is no provision in gems for pre/post install steps.

Bummer. Ross Bamford does have a feature request in:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2890&group_id=126&atid=578
Regards,
Dan
Please keep it that way. The only thing I'd *like* is a custom message
that can be printed.

found a workaround
spec.extensions = 'extconf.rb'
now, do whatever you like in extconf.rb

I played around with the same idea before I made that feature request. It can be made to work, but you do have to generate a Makefile out of your extconf to get it to work without warnings. Also, you need to stick to the 'source in lib/' layout or it'll complain during install.
E.g.
# --- extconf.rb
require 'mkmf'
puts "This is my pre-install code"
create_makefile('test')
# --- test.gemspec
spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name = 'test'
s.summary = 'extconf hack'
s.description = 'testing extconf hack'
s.version = '0.0.1'
s.extensions << 'extconf.rb'
s.files = ['lib/test.rb']
s.require_path = 'lib'
end
$ su -c 'gem install test-0.0.1.gem'
Password:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ruby extconf.rb install test-0.0.1.gem
This is my pre-install code
creating Makefile
make
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make install
make: Nothing to be done for `install'.
make clean
Successfully installed test, version 0.0.1
It's messy, but I think it's a good argument for having pre/post hooks anyway - I understand the security concerns, but if we can do this extconf trick, isn't that academic anyway?
Cheers,
