Binding kylix (pascal) .so to other languages

[Hans-Juergen Becker]

Hi,

i've got an .so library which was written in Pascal and the corresponding
Pascal header file.

Now i want to use this from another language, preferrable C (i.e. write
a language binding for C)

Whats the best way to do this?

The background:

It's a communication library for a PLC device, and the only way to
interact with this PLC from within Linux right now is to use
Kylix applications.

But as Kylix is a little bit dead, i would like to use the existing
library with another language, like Ruby or something like that. I guess
the most useful way to do would be the possibility to use it with C and
then write (or let generate) a binding for higher level languages.

Thanks and greets,
HJ
