Noob: Building Yarv 0.4.0

Greg_Zoller · 24 February 2006 16:40

Apologies if this is posed in the wrong forum...

I'm having problems building yarv 0.4.0 on Linux.

I've tried building with stable/production ruby release and
with ruby 1.9.0 (last night's snapshot).

Here's the error I'm getting. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
as I'd love to try it out.

To build I unpacked the yarv tar.gz file.
cd yarv-0.4.0
autoconf
./configure ...
make

Error:

Just to make sure you are not running into any strange
library clash issues, use the instructions on the YARV
page:

  1. Untar files
  2. mkdir build/
  3. cd yarv-0.4.0; autoconf
  4. cd ../build
  5. ../yarv-0.4.0/configure \
       --program-suffix=-yarv \ # Or a prefix
       --prefix=/home/gzoller # Optionally
  6. make; make test; make test-all; make benchmark

It might (or might not) help you..

Thanks!
Greg

Thanks, E, but I'm still having the same issues.

Anybody else have this problem?

Thx,

Maybe download the latest snapshot instead, just
in case. If it still shows no signs of working,
you could try fixing the mkmf file (or generating
one with extconf.rb) or building it with a 1.8.x ruby.

Yes. There are big changes going on over there right now I think.

A quick (and dirty) workaround I found was:

* change yarv/lib/mkmf.rb, line 1136, "files.flatten.each |f|"

* Run make with -i(gnore errors) switch:

  make -i
  make -i install

  * Manually copy ruby-yarv (or whatever) binary to target bin dir.

This is nasty stuff, but the result does seem to work quite well,
although it might be missing a few standard libraries... The actual
problem seemed tantalisingly close at one point but with it being 4am I
gave up.

(This was with the SVN trunk, which I think is the same as the latest
snapshot, r475, though I had the same problem on the 0.4.0 version too).

Well with yarv-r475

* I can build it with ruby 1.9.0 (2006-02-24) [i686-linux]

* with ruby 1.9.0 (2006-02-24) [x86_64-linux]

I *must* break a C optimisation to compile it, otherwise it give

uln% make
gcc -g -O2 -DRUBY_EXPORT -I. -I../yarv-r475 -c ../yarv-r475/array.c
[...]
gcc main.o libruby-yarv-static.a -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt -lm -o miniruby -g -O2 -DRUBY_EXPORT -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic
rbconfig.rb updated

without the optimisation :
