Haven't had any problems with my straight Ruby code. It would be much more useful to me embedded, though. I have my nice, little windows program, #include "ruby.h", ruby_init(), etc., but I just don't know what I'm supposed to link it to! I think I've linked it to just about ever binary file that came in that distribution, and a few compiled with no errors, but every one that did crashed as soon as it hit "ruby_init()". I suspect I was linking into linux libraries or something. (None of them ended in ".lib".) So I figured that the file I needed just wasn't included, so I'd have to compile my own. I got the 1.6.2 source of the Ruby site, got all kinds of cygwin stuff just so I'd have an 'rm' command (which the documentation said I would need) and followed the instructions, of which there were only five. I didn't get past three, though. I typed 'nmake', lots of fun stuff happened, and I got 18 unresolved external symbols. So, does anyone happen to know what I need to link into my C++ program, or, if I have some greater problem, what it might be? Any help is much appreciated, Chris ------ extPart_000_008D_01C07B37.3CADBA50 Content-Type: text/html; charset so-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4611.1300" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>I got the 1.6.1 Windows release from <A href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com">http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com</A> .
