These values are taken from values in rbconfig.rb. You can view your current platform by running `gem environment`. RubyGems matches platforms as follows: * The CPU must match exactly, unless one of the platforms has "universal" as the CPU. * The OS must match exactly. * The versions must match exactly unless one of the versions is nil. For commands that install, uninstall and list gems, you can override what RubyGems thinks your platform is with the --platform option. The platform you pass must match "#{cpu}-#{os}" or "#{cpu}-#{os}-#{version}". On mswin platforms, the version is the compiler version, not the OS version. (Ruby compiled with VC6 uses "60" as the compiler version, VC8 uses "80".) Example platforms: x86-freebsd # Any FreeBSD version on an x86 CPU universal-darwin-8 # Darwin 8 only gems that run on any CPU x86-mswin32-80 # Windows gems compiled with VC8 When building platform gems, set the platform in the gem specification to Gem::Platform::CURRENT. This will correctly mark the gem with your ruby's platform.
