Subject: Building Windows C Extension

All,

I am sure this has been brought up before but I am having problems
writing a simple hello word C extension for Ruby in Windows.

I am able to use nmake to build the library but get:

a C++ popup with R6034 Load Error / (DLL) initialization routine
failed....1.8/i386-msvcrt/mytest.so (LoadError)...

In trying to use MinGW, it does not like the makefile generated by
extconf.rb, and gets hung up on the colon in the topdir. relative
pathing does not work

So I am out of luck on both accounts.

Any help appriciated.

Thanks,
Scott
