Anyone have any idea where I can obtain the ruby extension RubyCom? The
website on geocities is gone (
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/www.geocities.com/masonralph/RubyCOM001.zip
www.geocities.com/masonralph/RubyCOM001.zip ).

Thanks,

Steve Tuckner

The “Homepage” and “Download” links listed in the RAA are incorrect, but
the pages are in fact still there. Here’s a link to Ralph Mason’s Ruby page:

 http://www.geocities.com/masonralph/ruby.html

and here’s a direct link to his RubyCOM stuff:

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Sometime ago, I had a look at RubyCOM, but it seems that it does not fit
my need well. What I am looking for is a way to write an ActiveX DLL, or
even normal DLL in Ruby, is that possible?

Thanks!

A DLL is a binary object. Ruby does not compile to binary.
The next best bet might be a DLL that delegates to the Ruby parser
running some Ruby code.

Interpreted languages are not suited to writing OS extensions.

Perhaps you could look around for (or write) something which
will generate DLL code for a compiled language.

Looking at examples to get through this stage should make
it easier to do the job properly with a ‘fun’ element ?

ftp://ftp.cs.virginia.edu/pub/lcc-win32/tutorial.zip

has a section on writing a DLL in C.
