Ruby 2.2.2 build fail error on macOS 11.1 #1700

laynejohnson · 2021-01-01T16:43:22Z

Hello there! (And, Happy New Year!) I hope I am posting this in the right place! 🙏

I am trying to install Ruby 2.2.2 on macOS 11.1 for a project, but am running into the following error when running:

rbenv install 2.2.2

Error:

I have tried the workarounds in issue #1353 and have downloaded OpenSSL 1.0 on my system, but still no luck! Has anyone had a similar issue that they were able to resolve? Many thanks 🙏

UPDATE

Solution:

$ CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rbenv install 2.2.2

#1489 (comment)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

@laynejohnson Having same issue with 2.3.3.Have you found any workaround yet.

laynejohnson · 2021-01-13T15:26:09Z

@rahulpuroht Yes! It seems to have been an issue with XCode 12 (Apple changed the default CFLAGS). This solution worked for me: #1489 (comment). I hope you have some luck with it!

Hi there,

Yes - also trying to get Ruby installed on Mac Silicone m1.

Using:
arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c
.... has allowed me to get openssl 1.0.2 to install correctly (without this it fails installing ssl)

and I added:
CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
.... thanks to this post #1489

But as you see its not working.

My next attempt followed this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64029645/rbenv-ruby-build-installs-fail-for-ruby-versions-1-9-3-2-2-0-2-2-5-with-xcod

which suggests installing command line tools v11, and the setting that in Xcode preferences.

However, on downloading the latest CLTs for v11 (11.5) - the installation says it is not compatible with m1 silicon.

Has anyone got older Ruby with rbenv working on m1 yet? Or found any other steps forward?

Many thanks, Steve.

hsbt · 2021-01-16T06:01:34Z

Has anyone got older Ruby with rbenv working on m1 yet?

There is no way to build the old ruby at M1 macOS with arm arch.

stevenjohn · 2021-01-16T11:32:17Z

There is no way to build the old ruby at M1 macOS with arm arch.

I'm sure there'll be a way - else there'll be a very upset group of devs not able to work on older ruby versions.

hsbt · 2021-01-16T23:17:10Z

@stevenjohn Maybe, the old Rubies can work under the Rosseta2 environment. But I have only Apple DTK, I couldn't investigate macOS with M1 chip.

stevenjohn · 2021-01-17T13:20:33Z

Cheers @hsbt - I've tried using

arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c

as a prefix which I believe uses Rosseta2

By using this I can see my installation went lot further than before - but I think the issue now is with the v12 command line tools, I'm seeing a lot of references to needing to use v11 - but not sure these can be installed on m1.

eveevans · 2021-01-17T19:15:12Z

I know that this is a rbenv post. But I want to comment that I was able to install an old Ruby (2.3.8) on my M1 with Big Sur 11.1, running XCode 12.3 with RVM using the following commands:

rvm pkg install openssl
export optflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
rvm install ruby-2.3.8 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr --rubygems ignore

This install old openSSL as independent dependency (not used for the system)
Change a flag that (I think) was changed on XCode 12
Install Ruby using the openSSL dependency from RVM (not from the system)

That's greatly appreciated - I will try it out and report back.

mrmanc · 2021-01-30T16:23:57Z

It isn’t exactly the same issue, but I wanted to share that the solution shared by @eveevans which set optflags solved the problem I was having running rbenv install 2.7.1. Setting CFLAGS did not work for me.

ThomasKoppensteiner · 2021-03-15T16:07:16Z

Thank you @eveevans and @mrmanc the following worked for me:

export optflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
rbenv install 2.1.2

bradical · 2021-03-31T19:33:40Z

Is there a consensus here on whether 2.2.2 can indeed be built on M1 Silicon with ARM? I'm seeing the following error on install:

config.status: creating -darwin20-fake.rb
rm: illegal option -- a
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ...
       unlink file
config.status: error: could not create -darwin20-fake.rb
make: *** [-darwin20-fake.rb] Error 64

after trying #1700 (comment)

brew install readline rbenv
arch -arm64 brew install rbenv/tap/[email protected]

# add the following to ~/.zshrc
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
# rbenv install recommends this with ruby-build
export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix [email protected])"

optflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" rbenv install 2.2.2

Are we just not able to build this version of ruby for ARM and have to use Rosetta?

eveevans · 2021-03-31T19:47:11Z

@bradical in my case, I ended using Old rubies compiled with Rosseta 2, and the newest Rubies compiled for ARM.
(with Asdf)

bradical · 2021-03-31T20:13:14Z

Thanks @eveevans!

This is interesting. It seems to have gotten pretty far and perhaps is just failing in some final symlinking step due to a badly named file -darwin20-fake.rb?

@ThomasKoppensteiner i saw you mentioned you got this working: #1700 (comment). Were you on M1 Silicon or Intel?

@stevenjohn any luck on your end since: #1700 (comment)? I agree with you: #1700 (comment) that this is going to be a problem for devs (myself included) who are supporting/maintaining legacy apps.

ThomasKoppensteiner · 2021-04-02T07:44:51Z

@bradical I'm using a Intel Core i7.

@eveevans I am having issues installing it with openssl. Later when It requires openssl it gives me error saying reinstall using openssl

The following worked for me:

CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration" RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS='--with-readline-dir=/usr/local/opt/readline/' arch -x86_64 rbenv install 2.2.2

bradical · 2021-12-06T15:11:09Z

is the bottom line that it's not possible to build 2.2.2 for arm64?

crgc · 2021-12-06T17:14:41Z

Hi @bradical - the above worked for me with 2.2.2 for arm64. For context, I'm on an M1 Macbook running Big Sur 11.5.2.

bradical · 2021-12-06T18:51:47Z

But if i'm understanding your code you're actually building for x86 using rosetta, no?

 arch -x86_64

crgc · 2021-12-06T19:40:32Z

Yes, you're right. It's the only way I could make it work, at least with the older Rubies.

smudge · 2021-12-10T17:46:06Z

This is interesting. It seems to have gotten pretty far and perhaps is just failing in some final symlinking step due to a badly named file -darwin20-fake.rb?

On Ruby 2.6 I'm seeing RUBY_PLATFORM return -darwin21 instead of arm64-darwin21 -- it's otherwise building successfully with arm64 (after I add RUBY_CFLAGS=-DUSE_FFI_CLOSURE_ALLOC):

$ file $(rbenv which ruby)
[...]/.rbenv/versions/2.6.5/bin/ruby: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

But then:

$ ruby -e "puts RUBY_PLATFORM"
-darwin21

So the the "badly named file" (-darwin20-fake.rb) is likely because the architecture is showing up blank somewhere and leads to a platform string like -darwin20. Anyone know how that string gets set and if it can be fixed at build time (or at runtime even)?

bradical · 2021-12-23T03:59:01Z

Yes, you're right. It's the only way I could make it work, at least with the older Rubies.

@crgc can you confirm the versions of readline and openssl that you have installed and also your macOS version and whether you installed them with x86_64 on homebrew or arm64? I'm trying your command #1700 (comment) but it's not working for me.
