Hi,
somehow works for me. To check, have a look at the end of the
generated file - there should be a line saying
rb_define_const(mMyTest,"SUCCESS", INT2NUM(1));
SWIG processor by default ignores #include (to enable them use
--includeall) but this is not your case, as you used %include instead.
I'm using SWIG 1.3.27, as the newer ones converted ruby support to
unified templates, and I couldn't get our hacks to work with them yet.
