Create "fat binary" gem for MinGW that contains builds for both 1.8.6 and 1.9.1
Reported by lyle (at lylejohnson) | October 27th, 2009 @ 08:48 PM | in 1.6.20
Need to first extend the build process so that we can cross-compile FXRuby binaries for MinGW on Linux or OS X hosts, then see what additionally must be done to build a "fat" gem that includes builds for both Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9.1 (and selects the correct one at runtime).
It is unclear whether we need fat binaries for other platforms where there isn't necessarily a "standard" Ruby installation in more than one version. For example, Snow Leopard only ships with Ruby 1.8.7, so the binary gem for FXRuby there needs to target Ruby 1.8.7 but no other versions.

FXRuby is a library for developing powerful and sophisticated cross-platform graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for your Ruby applications. It’s based on the FOX Toolkit, a popular open source C++ library developed by Jeroen van der Zijp. What that means for you as an application developer is that you’re able to write code in the Ruby programming language that you already know and love, while at the same time taking advantage of the performance and functionality of a featureful, highly optimized C++ toolkit.
