I saw the line “#include <extdll.h>” and just assumed DLL == windows
Eventually this will have to run under Windows - but since most dedicated
Half-Life servers are running under Linux (and of course mine too) I don’t
care yet.
Are you on-the-fly loading the ruby library ?
That is right. Half-Life modifications are loaded from dynamic libraries.
I don’t see any problems with that - am I overseeing anything here? I link
the Ruby interpreter statically to my dynamic library.
But I’m afraid that those people who could help here, don’t follow this
thread anymore 
I have no experience with this yet… is it straight ahead ?
Yeah, more or less. The way my extension hooks up to the game engine is
not very complicated and if there isn’t a principal problem with embedding
Ruby in a dynamic library, binding the native parts to Ruby is straight
forward. Of course I could cause heap corruptions when I treat engine data
in a wrong way or make errors when calling engine functions.
‘goto bed’, replies might be delayed some hours.
I did so too. Hope you (and all the others) had a pleasant sleep.
