Ruby 1.8.0-preview3 build errors

Aredridel1 · 24 June 2003 16:29

I get this:

/home/users/aredridel/rpm/BUILD/ruby-1.8.0/lib/mkmf.rb:20: private
method sub!' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /home/users/aredridel/rpm/BUILD/ruby-1.8.0/lib/mkmf.rb:18:ineach’
from /home/users/aredridel/rpm/BUILD/ruby-1.8.0/lib/mkmf.rb:18
from ./ext/extmk.rb:28:in `require’
from ./ext/extmk.rb:28

immediately after compiling miniruby with this build script:

autoconf

./configure LDFLAGS=-s CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon CXXFLAGS=-O2
-march=athlon FFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon CPPFLAGS=
CC=i686-pld-linux-gcc CXX=i686-pld-linux-g++
–build=athlon-pld-linux --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr
–bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
–datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib
–libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var
–sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man
–infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared
make

Any clues before I jump in headlong?

I see you use athlon optimizations.
Does it build if you turn optimization off ?

Is it the released Ruby-1.8.0-preview3 you are trying to build ?
Or is it cvs-version of ruby ?

Show me your “rbconfig.rb” file.

It doesn’t build without optimization either – the error is in the
mkmf.rb (or called) scripts, not in the resulting executable.

Released preview3.

Hi,

Show me your “rbconfig.rb” file.

Thank you.

CONFIG[“configure_args”] = “‘LDFLAGS=-s’ 'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon ’ ‘’ ‘’ 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon ’ ‘’ ‘’ 'FFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon ’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘CPPFLAGS=’ ‘CC=i686-pld-linux-gcc’ ‘CXX=i686-pld-linux-g++’ ‘–build=athlon-pld-linux’ ‘–prefix=/usr’ ‘–exec-prefix=/usr’ ‘–bindir=/usr/bin’ ‘–sbindir=/usr/sbin’ ‘–sysconfdir=/etc’ ‘–datadir=/usr/share’ ‘–includedir=/usr/include’ ‘–libdir=/usr/lib’ ‘–libexecdir=/usr/lib’ ‘–localstatedir=/var’ ‘–sharedstatedir=/var/lib’ ‘–mandir=/usr/share/man’ ‘–infodir=/usr/share/info’ ‘–enable-shared’ ‘build_alias=athlon-pld-linux’ ‘host_alias=’ ‘target_alias=’”

This is a line that caused a problem. Somehow you’ve specified “” to
your configure arguments.

Ah, I see – PLD’s build scripts. I’ll have to delve into the depths of
RPM to get that to build properly. A few days from now, probably.

Thank you, Matz.

/configure LDFLAGS=-s CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon CXXFLAGS=-O2
^^^^
-march=athlon FFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon CPPFLAGS=
^^^^ ^^^^
CC=i686-pld-linux-gcc CXX=i686-pld-linux-g++

Have any odd control characters found their way into those
gaps after -march=athlon ?? For each of the three occurrences,
mkconfig has generated -

'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon ’ ‘’ ‘’
'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon ’ ‘’ ‘’
'FFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon ’ ‘’ ‘’

Happy hunting

Not odd control characters – just separate tokens that bash doesn’t
show –

echo “” “”

still prints nothing, despite having two parameters. Go figure

It doesn’t print nothing: it prints a space (to separate your two empty
parameters), followed by a newline.

Regards,

Brian.

Newest ruby built with -O -march=athlon segfaulted with

pkgdb -uf

under freebsd stable when compiled with gcc33,

the program worked with ruby18 compiled with system compiler (gcc-2.95.4) and the same
options and it worked with ruby18 compiled with gcc33 under FreeBSD-current
(fyi: system compiler gcc-3.2).
