Description

Like others (see related issues) I'm struggling with installing rugged, either because of missing tools / libraries (like CMake) or simply because it takes long.

So how about simply publishing native / binary gems for selected platform, like e.g. Nokogiri does (probably via https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler-dock)?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the related issues and the Nokogiri 1.13.1 release linked in the issue, then examine how rugged currently builds its native gem and depends on CMake or other libraries. Compare that setup with rake-compiler-dock. Done means selected platforms can install published native gems without requiring local build tools or libraries.
