From 7e5680a0d8c492c5af19358c543061a82dd7fcc4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Mislav=20Marohni=C4=87?= Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2015 18:04:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add configure + make step to installation instructions This compiles the `realpath` dynamic extension for bash which speeds up symlink resolution. If the extension doesn't compile due to cross-platform issues, rbenv will still work normally, although not as fast. --- README.md | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 7b023676..7a517ed1 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -161,6 +161,13 @@ easy to fork and contribute any changes back upstream. $ git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv ~~~ + Optionally, try to compile dynamic bash extension to speed up rbenv.
