This repository provides builds of the Ruby programming language, with MMTk as a garbage collector. To download a build, find a recent nightly release at https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-mmtk-builder/releases/tag/nightly and download either the debug or release artefact.
Use ruby --mmtk to enable. See ruby --help for more information.
./build.sh will set up a working full-source checkout and build of Ruby with
MMTk. MMTk is Linux only.
A Containerfile is included that will run build.sh and create an
image with the resulting Ruby build.
Make sure you have installed podman and then run
podman build .
Within this directory.
The following environment variables can be used
WITH_LATEST_MMTK_CORE=1 to use latest MMTk (may not work.)
WITH_UPSTREAM_RUBY=1 to merge with upstream Ruby (may not work.)
WITH_DEBUG=1 to build a debug version.
First build using ./build.sh. Then TAG=mytag ./package.sh to build a tarball.
