It is not possible. If you want to create plugins, you need to use
compilers for the particular platforms you want plugins for. On the
Mac, you can use either CodeWarrior or XCode. On Windows, you can
use Dev Studio. On Linux, you pretty much have to use gcc.
But make sure you really need whatever it is you are trying to do
as a plugin. Lots of people think they need things as plugins that
are easily written in Rb itself. If you need system calls you can
use Declares.
Alternatively, you could try this:
- Ship your application as Mach-O
- Include an additional application as part of the
main apps's Mach-O bundle
- Start the extra app from your main app and establish
a socket communication channel.
This way, the background might do the hard word and use as much
CPU resources as required, while the frontend app might still
be responsive - in case responsiveness is an issue.
The usefulness of this approach depends on your needs, though.
