There is no provision in gems for pre/post install steps.

Please keep it that way. The only thing I'd *like* is a custom message
that can be printed.

I played around with the same idea before I made that feature request. I=
t =

can be made to work, but you do have to generate a Makefile out of your =
=

extconf to get it to work without warnings. Also, you need to stick to t=
he =

'source in lib/' layout or it'll complain during install.

E.g.

# --- extconf.rb
require 'mkmf'

puts "This is my pre-install code"

create_makefile('test')


# --- test.gemspec
spec =3D Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name =3D 'test'
s.summary =3D 'extconf hack'
s.description =3D 'testing extconf hack'
s.version =3D '0.0.1'
s.extensions << 'extconf.rb'

s.files =3D ['lib/test.rb']
s.require_path =3D 'lib'
end


$ su -c 'gem install test-0.0.1.gem'
Password:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ruby extconf.rb install test-0.0.1.gem
This is my pre-install code
creating Makefile

make
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make install
make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

make clean
Successfully installed test, version 0.0.1

It's messy, but I think it's a good argument for having pre/post hooks =

anyway - I understand the security concerns, but if we can do this extco=
nf =

trick, isn't that academic anyway?
