Installing Commonmarker (Ruby wrapper for a C app) on Heroku

I am currently trying to install the CommonMarker gem on my Heroku app. I have included it in my Gemfile, and as I expected, it failed to bundle install due to cmake not being present in Heroku. I managed to install cmake on my development environment, but am at a loss how to do so for Heroku.

As I understand it, cmake is only needed during the bundle process, which will create the binary used by libcmark, which is in turn used by Commonmarker. I have read something about buildpacks, but that seems to be mainly about customizing the development environments.

Any help would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

Login to Heroku and go to the settings page for your app. Add in the following order under the Buildpacks section.

  1. https://github.com/ello/heroku-buildpack-cmake
  2. Ruby (official Heroku version)

Note: I was able to push to Heroku and the build was successful, but the app slug size bloated dramatically.
