Embedding in Borland C++ Builder

ruby-talk
1

I want to try embedding Ruby into a new Borland C++ Builder application, and
while I’ve poked around and found bits of information here and there, I’m
having trouble coming up with a “shortest path between A and B” sort of
solution. I’d prefer to get 1.8 embedded, but 1.6 is fine. If I could just
get the Ruby API compiled into a .DLL somehow, I’m sure I could get Builder
to load and use it, with some help from the ruby.h file.

What should I be doing to start off with?

Don’t start out with .DLL’s… DLL’s may couse trouble.
Instead do static-linking with the ruby-library.

There is a saying: Make it work, make it right, make it fast.
When you are sure everything is working, you can move on and
make a DLL out of it.

Unfortunately, I get linker errors with the static library I built in the
bcc32 directory (__umask, _getpid and one other couldn’t be resolved). I’m
having some luck with the .dll, but I don’t have a lot of choice at the
moment. Perhaps later I will have time to figure out why those functions
are missing out of the static library.
