Building Gems

Rails
1

Hello all,

I have been searching for a good tutorial of how to build a gem in Rails
3.
I have found someones, but has not that good explained.

I haven’t build either a gem or plugin even in Rails 2.3.*, and I don’t
know
if there were a change in the way a gem is built for Rails 3.

Could anyone suggest me a resource where I could begin in?

Regards,

Daniel G.

So far as I know, building gems has nothing to do with Rails. What are
you trying to achieve?

Could anyone suggest me a resource where I could begin in?

The RubyGems docs, perhaps?

was looking for information about building Gems for Rails 3

Gems extend Ruby, not Rails. Plugins and Engines are the mechanisms
to extend Rails. Of course, any extension to Ruby extends Rails as
well and it’s not uncommon to see a Rails extension include a Ruby
extension. But they are separate.

HTH,
