• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)

I get the following build error on my Linux box while trying to build
ruby-1.9.2-p290, how to fix? it look like a issues with RDoc

uh-oh! RDoc had a problem:

Can you run just this from the build directory:

./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb
./tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- "./bin/rdoc" --no-force-update
--all --ri --op ".ext/rdoc" "." --debug

It should print out a backtrace

i assume that's all in one line?

Yup.

here is what I got

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rdoc-3.8/lib/rdoc/rdoc.rb:79:
warning: already initialized constant GENERATORS
undefined method coverage_report' for #<RDoc::Options:0x000000027cd678> /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rdoc-3.8/lib/rdoc/rdoc.rb:428:in document'
./bin/rdoc:15:in `'

I tried to reproduce your issue with the following steps:

Download 1.9.2-p136 and -p290

Install p136 into ~/tmp/ruby/136

export PATH=~/tmp/ruby/136/bin

Install RDoc 3.8

in p290: ./configure --prefix=/Users/drbrain/tmp/ruby/290; make

It did not reproduce.

Do you have RUBYOPT set?

Do you have any rdoc plugins installed? gem list rdoc should list them

Can you run this command:

$ ./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb ./tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- -e 'require "rdoc/rdoc"; p $".grep(/generator/)'

I get:

["/Users/drbrain/tmp/ruby/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/rdoc/generator.rb", "/Users/drbrain/tmp/ruby/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/rdoc/generator/markup.rb", "/Users/drbrain/tmp/ruby/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/rdoc/generator/darkfish.rb", "/Users/drbrain/tmp/ruby/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/rdoc/generator/ri.rb"]

You should see something similar.

my output is (not sure why I got 1.9.1 in there???)

1.9.1 is the API compatibility version. 1.9.1 is expected.

You can work around this by uninstalling horo or RDoc 3.8 and reinstalling after completing the upgrade to 1.9.2-p290.

I'm not sure how to fix the actual issue in an easy way.

The problem is this:

RDoc 2.5.8 comes with Ruby 1.9.2

RDoc 2.5.8 will try to load plugins when rdoc/rdoc is loaded.

The plugin horo activates the RDoc gem, then requires rdoc/rdoc again redefining methods that won't work with the objects created before the plugin load.

Could you add a ticket to redmine.ruby-lang.org and assign it to me?

It should say "RDoc should not load plugins when building ri data"

• Subject changed from error building ruby p290 to Ruby 1.9.2 may fail to build ri data when an RDoc plugin is installed

• Status changed from Open to Assigned

• Target version changed from 1.9.2 to 2.0.0

This seems fixed in latest rdoc.
