• ruby -v: 1.9.1

Okay, I know this isn't all THAT helpful, but I was trying to build ruby 1.9.1 on Snow Leopard, but 32-bit only. I had CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and DLDFLAGS all set to '-arch i386'

Everything would be fine, all *.o files would be built i386, but when it came time to create libruby.1.9.1.dylib, the -arch i386 flag was not present. I'm no autoconf genius, so I have absolutely NO idea how to patch this. But all I did was re-run the failing command and manually added the -arch i386 command, and it worked.

A minor point, but kind of annoying nonetheless.

I have attached the relevant output of 'make'.

This bug continues to prevent 32-bit builds on OSX Lion in 1.9.3 preview1.

It blocks use of the 32-bit version of Oracle InstantClient, which is the only InstantClient that works on OSX 10.7 Lion.

Try --with-arch=x86_64 option.

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

Sorry, it should be --with-arch=i386, of course.

[randy_parker (Randy Parker)]

Do you mean just "-arch=i386" ? I have tried that as a directive in .rvmrc. It results in the build failure originally described by Bryan Ross. Replacing "-arch=i386' with '--with-arch=i386" as an rvm directive causes immediate build abort.

Where should the "--with-arch=i386" be specified if not in .rvmrc?

"--with-arch=i386" should be specified in ./configure, I guess.

Mrkn, do you know the status of this issue? Do you think this issue should be fixed before 2.0.0?

I maintain the CI for 32-bit OS X.
