C Extensions not working on Windows XP 64

Matt

I can not for the life of me get even the simplest C extension example
to load into ruby on Windows XP. The first case I tried actually was
the example provided by SWIG (the simple example). It fails with the
message
runme.rb:3:in `require': 127: The specified procedure could not be
found. - In
it_Example (LoadError)
/Example.dll
from runme.rb:3

The example was compiled with the provided MS-VC++ 6 project without
error. A dumpbin of example.dll reveals that the symbol Init_Example is
in fact exported. The same error is reported in both ruby 1.6.8 and
ruby 1.8.2. This is supposed to work in theory since it's
'automatically' generated by SWIG


I then tried to generate my own example based on some tutorials.
//--------------------simple.c------------------------------------------------
#include "ruby.h"

static VALUE simple_initialize(VALUE self, int iValue)
{
rb_iv_set(self,"@i",iValue);
rb_iv_set(self,"@a",rb_ary_new());
return self;

}

static VALUE simple_get_i(VALUE self)
{
return rb_iv_get(self,"@i");

}

static VALUE simple_set_i(VALUE self, int iValue)
{
return rb_iv_set(self,"@i",iValue);

}

static VALUE simple_get_a(VALUE self)
{
return rb_iv_get(self,"@a");

}

VALUE csimple;

void Init_simple()
{

csimple = rb_define_class("simple",rb_cObject);
rb_define_method(csimple,"initialize",simple_initialize,1);

rb_define_method(csimple,"i", simple_get_i, 0);
rb_define_method(csimple,"i=", simple_set_i, 1);
rb_define_method(csimple,"a", simple_get_a, 0);

}

//---------------------------------------------------------------------


#----- simple.rb ------------
require "simple"

s = simple.new(123)

p s.i
p s.a

s.i = 456
s.a.push("Hello")
s.a.push("World")

p s.a
#-----------------------------

The compile procedure from MS-VC++ 6
cl /LD /I$(RUBY_INCLUDE) /O2 simple.c $(RUBY_LIBPATH)\$(RUBY_LIB) /link
/def:simple.def

which compiles without error or warning. dumpbin reveals that
Dump of file simple.dll

File Type: DLL

Section contains the following exports for simple.dll

0 characteristics

1 0 00001000 Init_simple

Summary

4000 .data
1000 .rdata
1000 .reloc
5000 .text


However running
D:\ruby>ruby simple.rb
/simple.rb:4: undefined local variable or method `simple' for
#<Object:0x5b6961
8> (NameError)
from simple.rb:2:in `require'
from simple.rb:2

This is the result from running ruby 1.6.8
I might go back and try 1.8.2 again later, but for now I'll use python.
At least SWIG seems to work with it on windows.

Classes must be constant. Try naming your class ``Simple''.

That should be ``Class names''. Sorry for the spam.

Ack! I see some integers being directly stored into a Ruby VALUE.
Remember to cast them properly using INT2NUM() or, if you're feeling
dangerous, INT2FIX().

rb_iv_set(self,"@i",INT2NUM(iValue));

return rb_iv_set(self,"@i",INT2NUM(iValue));
