Project to build Arduino libraries without Arduino IDE

So,I got my redbot in a few days ago, but ran into the problem (on my Linux machine) of having a ton of dependencies, like Java, needed by the Arduino IDE. So, I took the Arduino github repository and did something about it. Basically, I made it easy to build the arduino based libraries, like Wire, SoftwareSerial, etc from the command line with only Ruby as the dependency.

I have the project hosted here: https://github.com/Earlz/make-wiring I only have tested it on Linux, but it should work on Mac and Windows(with Cygwin) as well.

I’d love to get some feedback for it and see how many other people prefer using Arduino libraries without the Arduino IDE :slight_smile:

I use Eclipse as the IDE.

Uecide is another IDE option for arduino:
