      Hey all,

      I am embarking on the dark road of C extensions and had a few questions in regard to how to go about writing one:

      • Are there any good tutorials/blogs about how to write an extension. I've been looking but coming up empty handed. I'd love to find one that shows how to make a minimal extension on a Mac, if possible.
      • How can I make a universal binary (e.g. one that will work on Mac and PC)? Is it possible? Any experience doing one?
      • Has anyone had experience writing a C extension that downloads a file from a website to the local filesystem? If so, how did you go about doing it?

      Any direction/tips/links on these issues would be greatly appreciated!

      Cheers,
      Dana

          We have discussed this in previous topics...

          ... we currently have an active topic going on C/C++ Plugins:
          Plugin DLL

          Other threads on this issue:

          Re: Optimization Tips (discussing Ruby vs C speed)

          Programming in C, C++ for Mac and Windows?

          Are Swig generated Ruby bindings compatible with Sketchup?

          Examples:

          I'm not here much anymore.
