title: Packaging C++ library into a Rails application for Heroku use
body: <p>asked the next thing from Heroku support the other day: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I have an app that will
    require a client library written in
    C++. I
    have doubts can that be done with
    Heroku. Is it possible at all, any
    alternatives how can a C++ library be
    installed and used by an app with
    Heroku?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And I got the next answer:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>We currently don't have a good way to
    do this. You'll need to figure out how
    to package into your app and compile
    static x64 binaries into the repo.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I haven't done that before. Does anyone have any good pointers how package a C++ library into a Rails app so it can be used with Heroku?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
