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NOTE: The Vulcan build service is no longer maintained or supported, and it's no longer recommended for building binaries.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.
$ gem install vulcan
$ 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
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.
