The ffi-compiler on rubygems.org is too old

[spacewander]

The latest update time of ffi-compiler is April 19, 2013. This version is too old and without some added features. https://rubygems.org/gems/ffi-compiler

seems there still aren't any mainteiner for ffi-compiler :disappointed: see ffi/ffi#339

@tduehr do you know what will happen with ffi-compiler? it's very useful and is used by many gems so new rubygem release is very needed.

I've released ffi-compiler2 Source at:

• https://gitlab.com/davispuh/ffi-compiler
• https://bitbucket.org/davispuh/ffi-compiler
• https://github.com/davispuh/ffi-compiler

Simply change gemspec, it's fully compatible so no other changes needed

-  spec.add_runtime_dependency 'ffi-compiler'
+  spec.add_runtime_dependency 'ffi-compiler2'

Please cut a new release or feel free to make me an owner so I can push releases. Really need add_define which was added to trunk in 2013 however is not available in any released gem.

Required to fix pbhogan/scrypt#58
