Bug #7698

closed

RubyGems 2.0 has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries

Added by mrkn (Kenta Murata) about 11 years ago. Updated almost 11 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
ruby -v:
ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-01-14 trunk 38812) [x86_64-linux]
Backport:
[ruby-core:51437]

Description

The current rubygem included in ruby-head has an incompatibility about installation of extension libraries.
This incompatibility makes make install to be failed because the current gem doesn't separate build, source and install directories.

This is reported as a bug of bigdecimal's gemspec in #7344 firstly, but Tadashi Saito pointed out it also can be reproduced in other gems including extension libraries, such as decimal.gem.
I think this incompatibility will make gem-developers to be in trouble after ruby-2.0 is released.
So this should be resolved before ruby-2.0 is released.

Sorry, I made misspelling.

This incompatibility makes make install to be failed because the current gem doesn't separate build, source and install directories.

Translating from [ruby-dev:46864], Tadashi said:

We can avoid this bug by changing directory tree in gems.
But, Current status means any gems may be not installable after 2.0.0, by incompatibility in current rubygem bundled in 2.0.0.

So, I propose the following solutions:

  1. Revert that incompatibility before 2.0.0 release or 2.0.0's first patch level release to make such gems installable.
  2. If you cannot, please review all gems that installable in 2.0.0 and notify to authors if a gem can't be installed in 2.0.0.
    (This may be rubygems.org's task)
  3. Announce that like "Your gem may be not installable in 2.0.0" to all gem authors.

I think solution (1) is the best. (2) seems high-cost.
(3) is the worst way for me, because I've not seen an announcement like such,
and seems too late to announce.

Thank you translation, sorah!

This can be fixed by the following patch. This is caused by #6904 change. Should this problem be fixed in RubyGems?

I am unfamiliar with Makefiles, so what does this patch change?

Also, .time is new in ruby 2.0, what effect does this have on ruby 1.9 and ruby 1.8?

I trust your judgement in adding this to RubyGems. If you commit it to Ruby please commit it to RubyGems and let me know!

This change doesn't have effect on 1.9 and 1.8 because Makefile on 1.9 and 1.8 doesn't have .time. So the gsub is just ignored.

Thanks. :-)

Hello,

This issue seems not to be fixed completely.
"gem install rbtree" still hit this issue.
It reproduces on both trunk and 2.0.0-p0.

I can still reproduce this on RubyGems 2.0.3 with trunk:
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-06-16 trunk 41328) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0]

To repro: gem install rbtree

Is this a bug in rbtree?

Hello,

The following is the output of gem install rbtree on my environment (ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-06-16 trunk 41337) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0])
It seems that rbtree need to catch up with constify of RBasic::klass and RHash::ifnone for RGenGC.
ko1, what do you think? Is it intended incompatibility?
