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 or the local CPU starts with "arm" and the gem's CPU is exactly "arm" (for gems that support generic ARM architecture). * 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".) For the ARM architecture, gems with a platform of "arm-linux" should run on a reasonable set of ARM CPUs and not depend on instructions present on a limited subset of the architecture. For example, the binary should run on platforms armv5, armv6hf, armv6l, armv7, etc. If you use the "arm-linux" platform please test your gem on a variety of ARM hardware before release to ensure it functions correctly. 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 armv7-linux # Gem complied for an ARMv7 CPU running linux arm-linux # Gem compiled for any ARM CPU running linux 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.
