Bug #10948: When cross-compiling Ruby 2.2.1 for Win32, securerandom.rb fails while trying to use Win32 native libraries

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: 2.2.1
• Backport: 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: DONE

Between Ruby 2.1 and 2.2, lib/securerandom.rb was modified to assume that if /mswin|mingw/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM then Win32 libraries are available. This is not true for a cross-compile environment, however. So the pre-Ruby-2.2 checks to use OpenSSL::Random need to be restored.

The problem is further described in https://github.com/tjschuck/rake-compiler-dev-box/pull/20

A pull request is available at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/848 based on the change suggested by @unak and verified by @sodabrew.

Normally a PR would be against trunk, but trunk has moved all Win32-specific code out of lib/securerandom.rb, so if the same problem exists on trunk it will require a different solution.

This hasn't landed on ruby_2_2 yet, could you re-open the issue to track it until resolution?

As I wrote before ( https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10948#note-2 ),
"Closed" with backport "REQUIED" means "please backport this."
Branch maintainers understand it.
