hi…
i just followed the peter cooper’s tutorial on How to create a Ruby
extension in C in under 5 minutes in the rubyinside.com.
folowng the tutorial i create extconf.rb and MyTest.c .
i installed the cygwin.
in that command prompt i given command =>$ ruby extconf.rb
after giving the command it created the makefile in to my folder.
after that i given command => $ make
it creates MyTest.o file and mytest(this file type is Apache Loadable
Module)
it creates MyTest.o file and mytest(this file type is Apache Loadable
Module)
Possibly would be a DLL for Windows?
In irb when i give require ‘mytest’
the irb doesnot display anything…
Can you paste exactly what you see? If it returns “true” then the
extension was loaded correctly. Or did it crash IRB, i.e. you didn’t
even get a prompt back?

what is the reason
the file is named “mytest.so” and you’re probably on a case sensitive
file system. I’m guessing you don’t have a file named MyTest.so
(or .rb).
look at your doco for Kernel#require to see what it does. You can use ri for that or look it up on rubydoc or somesuch.
