# gem-compiler
A RubyGems plugin that generates binary (pre-compiled) gems.
## Description
`gem-compiler` is a RubyGems plugin that helps generates binary gems from
already existing ones without altering the original source code. It compiles
Ruby C extensions and bundles the result into a new gem.
It uses an *outside-in* approach and leverages on existing RubyGems code to
do it.
The result of the compilation is a binary gem built for your current platform,
skipping the need of a compiler toolchain when installing it.
## Installation
To install gem-compiler you need to use RubyGems:
$ gem install gem-compiler
Which will fetch and install the plugin. After that the `compile` command
will be available through `gem`.
