Bug #1309: dl tests

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)

=begin
The dl tests now pass again on windows (thanks!).

However, instead of getting the runtime library name from the dll name, it seems more appropriate to use the site-arch config setting.

Patch attached.

What's the reason?

=begin
Two reasons.

First is philosophical. Using "sitearch" seems more apppriate than "RUBY_SO_NAME" - that is the point of sitearch isn't it?

Second is practical. I continue to hope that I'll be able to convince ruby core that the shared library name on windows should be ruby19.dll (I'll be sending another email soon :). Therefore RUBY_SO_NAME will no longer work for this.

RUBY_SO_NAME is too.

I had explained why it can't. Do you have any suggestion for
workaround?

Hi Nobu,

Let's take the dll naming issue back to ruby-core, I'll post there in the next couple of days.

I'd still like this test to use sitearch. Is there any good reason why it can't?
