Is it possible to use data_miner on windows?

[towerhe]

I have tried to move data_miner to windows platform for days. I found that some gems only can be run on linux, such as posix_spawn, unix_utils, roo, and so on.

@seamusabshere Is there a way to achieve this issue? Please give me some lights.

@towerhe it's tough - we would have to start with https://github.com/seamusabshere/unix_utils

perhaps we can find a good example of another ruby library that successfully calls binaries on jruby AND windows.

I do think so and I am not sure there is a way to spawn processes like posix_spawn on windows. I am trying to implement an adapter for all the utilities.
