Title: How to tell the build system to run a pre-compile step?
Post by: hanshuckebein on January 09, 2017, 11:47:58 pm

A file test.crb should be processed by a ruby script to generate test.c. After this step, test.c should be compiled.

How to tell the build system to use the ruby script to process a *.crb file?
