It appears that the linking task fails when the --prefix value contains spaces.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. ./configure --prefix="$HOME/foo bar"
  2. make

Expected Result: success
Actual Result:

make[2]: Entering directory /home/hal/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247'

I can't reproduce with trunk and ruby_2_1 branch.

#5 Updated by Hal Brodigan over 1 year ago

Still hitting this with ruby 2.2.1.

Steps To Reproduce

mkdir "$PWD/fake home"
export HOME="$PWD/fake home"
cd "$HOME"
wget http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.2/ruby-2.2.1.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf ruby-2.2.1.tar.bz2
cd ruby-2.2.1
./configure --prefix="$HOME/.rubies/ruby-2.2.1"
make

Result

gcc: error: home/.rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib: No such file or directory
gcc: error: home/.rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [ruby] Error 1
