Automate Rust FFI Build & Improve Cross-Platform Support
Summary
This PR adds a new script
build_ffi.shto automate:valkey-glide.soon Linux,.dylibon macOS) viacargo build --releaselib/valkeyfolderWhy?
The Rust shared library must be rebuilt and copied manually before, which is error-prone and tedious. This script simplifies and automates that, keeping the library up-to-date locally.
Prerequisites
Rust toolchain (includes
cargo)Install via official Rust installer:
Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc)
Required by the Rust build process. On macOS, install with:
How to run
From your valkey-glide-ruby gem root, run:
