Note: This is a repost per Joe Strout's suggestion to post to the "plugins" list. Joe has replied, but I'd also like to get the list's thoughts.
Hi All, I'm currently developing a program that requires the use of a few odd file formats (e.g. FITS, etc.). Obviously RB doesn't support opening or manipulating this file format (does it?). Therefore I need to incorporate the functionality of an existing C/C++ library (as a plugin or otherwise) into my RB project. I need this to be cross-platform. Will I need to create separate plugins for each? I'd prefer the MBS approach in having only one plugin that is cross-platform. How, exactly, is this achieved? Will I need to map each and every function manually or is the plugin system intuitive enough to expose functionality? I've been looking through the SDK documentation but it doesn't seem very well organized or up to date. If possible, I'd appreciate a tutorial or some information that provides direction from beginning to end in a *clear*, *concise* manner on how to include an entire existing C/C++ library into an RB project.
