Vulcan [DEPRECATED]

A build server in the cloud.

NOTE: The Vulcan build service is no longer maintained or supported, and it's no longer recommended for building binaries. Use heroku run instead.

Install

$ gem install vulcan

Usage

$ vulcan help
Tasks:
  vulcan build            # build a piece of software for the heroku cloud using COMMAND as a build command if no COMMAND is...
  vulcan create APP_NAME  # create a build server on Heroku
  vulcan help [TASK]      # Describe available tasks or one specific task
  vulcan update           # update the build server

$ vulcan help build
Usage:
  vulcan build

Options:
  -c, [--command=COMMAND]     # the command to run for compilation
  -n, [--name=NAME]           # the name of the library (defaults to the directory name)
  -o, [--output=OUTPUT]       # output build artifacts to this file
  -p, [--prefix=PREFIX]       # vulcan will look in this path for the compiled artifacts
  -s, [--source=SOURCE]       # the source directory to build from
  -d, [--deps=one two three]  # urls of vulcan compiled libraries to build with
  -v, [--verbose]             # show the full build output

build a piece of software for the heroku cloud using COMMAND as a build command
if no COMMAND is specified, a sensible default will be chosen for you

Examples

Create a Build Server

You must have a verified Heroku account with your credit card entered to create a build server. This is required to add the free Cloudant add-on.
