Problems building 2.2.0 on Mac

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

I'm trying to build Ruby 2.2.0 on Mac and am running into this error:

etc.c:788:56: error: passing 'void' to parameter of incompatible type 'VALUE'
       (aka 'unsigned long')

clang logs several of these before giving up. I am on OS X 10.10, latest Xcode tools and clang. I could not find reports of this via Google or at the Ruby bug tracker. Please advise.

Thank you,
Kevin

What flags and/or env vars did you use for configure and/or make?

export CFLAGS="" && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ruby --enable-shared --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local --enable-load-relative

I cleaned up the build, disabled some other env vars in my ~/.profile, and tried again--it builds cleanly.

Not sure what tripped me up before, but this works now. Thanks for the suggestion to look at the env vars.

I just successfully built using your command (minus openssl since I don't have that setup).

Please make sure:

+ Homebrew doesn't have gcc installed
+ `xcode-select -p` points to your xcode. If not either `-r`, `-s <path>` or `--install`.

Lemme know if that helps at all.
