Building Native Extensions. This Could Take A While...
"Native gems" contain pre-compiled libraries for a specific machine architecture, removing the need to compile the C extension or to install other system dependencies. This leads to a much faster and more reliable installation experience for programmers.
This talk will provide a deep look at the techniques and toolchain used to ship native versions of Nokogiri and other rubygems with C extensions. Gem maintainers will learn how to build native versions of their own gems, and developers will learn how to use and deploy pre-compiled packages.
