But they are built on the target system correct? I am actually (when I can find spare minutes) working on a binary builder, that will take a built from source binary gem from one system and create a new binary gem for that architecture. It is not elegant (I package up intermediate object files and the like), but in general I believe it will work. This is to simplify the use of gems with extensions on production servers that do not generally have a C compiler or other build tools. pth _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
