Ruby-build: Ruby 2.2.2 build fail error on macOS 11.1

[laynejohnson]

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 🙏

Solution:

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

https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1489#issue-741155490

[rahulpuroht]

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

[laynejohnson]

@rahulpuroht Yes! It seems to have been an issue with XCode 12 (Apple changed the default CFLAGS). This solution worked for me: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1489#issue-741155490. 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 https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/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]

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]

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]

@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]

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]

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

1. This install old openSSL as independent dependency (not used for the system)
2. Change a flag that (I think) was changed on XCode 12
3. 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]

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]

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

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

[bradical]

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 https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1700#issuecomment-799541819

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]

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

[bradical]

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: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1700#issuecomment-799541819. Were you on M1 Silicon or Intel?

@stevenjohn any luck on your end since: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1700#issuecomment-761956133? I agree with you: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1700#issuecomment-761548457 that this is going to be a problem for devs (myself included) who are supporting/maintaining legacy apps.

[ThomasKoppensteiner]

@bradical I'm using a Intel Core i7.
