Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone has tried/managed to compile Ruby on Open
BSD ?
I've just tried to compile ruby 1.8.2 on Open BSD 3.4 (after installing
GNU Make 3.80 on it) and it didn't work, make goes into a loop calling
configure...

Ruby should compile fine. Many people who use OpenBSD have compiled it. Are you sure here isnt something wrong with configure or autotools like always?

You may want to try the ruby-1.8.1 port:
cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby
make install

yup.
% which ruby && ruby -v
/usr/local/bin/ruby
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i386-openbsd3.4]
% ./ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-openbsd3.4]

Hmm... I don't know what to tell you, just to test it out I rebuilt both
the 1.8.1 from ports and the 1.8.2-preview2 tarball. Both worked fine.
Rebuilding 1.8.2 worked just fine with the the standard ./configure &&
make. It doesn't appear that building 1.8.2 requires gmake.
If you have some more info, post and maybe someone can help out.
enjoy,

Are you sure it loops? I've had a similar problem with the CVS build
on NetBSD, but it only happens the first time I run make.

Thank you all for the suggestions. If I have time, I will indeed
investigate the autotools, they do seem at fault here. In the mean time
I'll take Jan's suggestion and go for the port, it was there already
on my machine.

i seem to recall having to install libiconv, flex, bison...not sure if
this made a difference
also run gmake
i have the latest stable build of Ruby running on
OpenBSD 3.5
