"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.

Regards,
Michael
