Bug #18820: on aarch64/Android/Termux/Ubuntu jammy server, ALL versions before Ruby 3.1.x don't compile!

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -

• ruby -v: ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [aarch64-linux-gnu]

[libweirdness (Antryg Revok)]

btw, this is a frustrating bug-reporting system to report a bug in?
so if I've reported it in the wrong place,
just delete my report.

My learning-programming environment is within a tablet,
so
aarch64 / Android 11 ( originally 10 or 9, iirc )
then Termux in that,
then Ubuntu Server jammy aka 22.04 LTS
then I get that set up, create a reg user to live in,
then I tried using "rbenv"
to get the same Ruby as my textbook
"Well Grounded Rubyist, 3rd edition",
which is a 2.5.x variant

( I wasted months trying
to learn Haskell with old books,
and the language simply doesn't work the same,
in newer tools,
ie do what the textbook told you to do,
and get nowhere.

I'm not interested in such
grinding demotivation within learning Ruby, too,
see? )

So, after trying the apt install rbenv
and then
rbenv install 2.5.8, then 2.5.7, then 2.5.6...

I wrongly believed that the problem was in rbenv.

So, I ripped that apt installed version out
& failed to install Homebrew,
which doesn't even try to work,
for people who are in ARM based machines.

then tried installing the git version of rbenv.

Then I tried a script that did

rbenv install $i
on these versions:
2.5.9
2.6.10 2.7.6 3.0.4 3.1.2

ALL of them, except for the last, failed.

viewing the 2.5.9 stderr in vim, copy-paste gives you:

and 3.1.2 didn't fail.

gcc is:
gcc (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1) 11.2.0

I have clang-13 installed
( trying to get Haskell's GHCup & cabal system to work,
& failing in that, too )

I'm hoping that this info enables the ruby-build system
to be made to work, hopefully without bother.

Logfiles for those 4 failed builds are included below.

the ruby -v listed below is with the Ubuntu jammy apt installed one:
I haven't yet tried to switch between the 2 that apparently work on this machine, with rbenv.

Maybe tmr.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen

• Is duplicate of Bug #18658: Need openssl 3 support for Ubuntu 22.04 (Ruby 2.7.x and 3.0.x) added

[hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)]

• Status changed from Open to Closed

[libweirdness (Antryg Revok)]

the 2.5.x build-failure was due to all warnings being converted to errors, and some screwy casting ( between types ).

it looked to me like the reasons were different for different versions.

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

The failure of 2.5.9 is here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/attachments/9280#L1851

ossl.c:311:9: error: ‘ERR_get_error_line_data’ is deprecated: Since OpenSSL 3.0 [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
  311 |         while ((e = ERR_get_error_line_data(&file, &line, &data, &flags))) {

That is an OpenSSL 3.0 issue.
