[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Hi,

I am trying to compile ruby from source code. And i am using thin server. Problem is when i am trying to start thin with ssl option by specifying :-

ruby bin/thin --ssl -a 127.0.0.1 -p 44466 start

I starts the server, but on accessing the https://localhost:44466. It crashes ruby and gives the error on console and a popup comes saying ruby interpretor has stopped working.

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

and in windows even logs i see :--

Faulting application name: ruby.exe, version: 1.9.3.194, time stamp: 0x5154804d
Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.30729.4940, time stamp: 0x4ca2ef57
Exception code: 0x40000015
Fault offset: 0x0005beae
Faulting process id: 0x11d4
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf7fb6cca849aa

Report Id: 47c368b9-ebaa-11e3-8cd8-8c89a5d53bc0`

I've compiled ruby with diff versions of openssl, but same application crash error. I am on windows platform and compiliing using microsoft visual studio8. Please let me know if i am missing some steps. how can remove/avoid this 'msvcr90.dll' error.

platform :- windows7
compiler :- Microsoft visual studio9
Ruby :- ruby1.9.3p194
Openssl :- openssl 1.0.0d/openssl 1.0.0e

1. Your ruby is too old. Please check p547, and report if you still have the same problem.
2. When ruby crashes, ruby outputs backtrace to the console. Please attach it.

I tried compiling with p547 also. I get same error. And in ruby console I only see the msg below and no backtrace.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I searched around for this defect, I found out it while compiling on windows with visual studi, this occurs bcause of some dependency libraries.
refernce link :- http://code.activestate.com/lists/ruby-talk/32371/

I tried installer for p547, it worked. but when complied same p547 from source i got same error.

Oh, really?
I guess that the message ("This application ...") is shown in a popup window. Isn't it?
The console I meant is your command prompt which you ran "ruby bin/thin ...".
After a crash of ruby, it reports "[BUG]" message with backtrace usually.

Yes only this comes in console without any backtrace. Pop only only shows "ruby193p194 has stopped working". I am attaching screenshot of pop-up for your reference

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Any update on this??

[usa (Usaku NAKAMURA)]

I have not been able to reproduce this problem at this time.
From the information that is provided by you, I can not debug unfortunately.

It should be noted, ruby ​​1.9.3 has ended the normal maintenance phase already,
we do not plan to release bug fixes without security issues.
If possible, please check ruby 2.1 or 2.0.0, and report if the problem still occurs.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

due to other projects dependecies, I am bound to use that version only. From all the informaiton i explored, got to know that it has to do with compiling dependency libraries (\MSVCR90.dll) same msvcrt version. And that is working correct on mingw but not on mswin.

If you can look on cade which deals with msvcrt for mingw and mswin, may be can help.

[luislavena (Luis Lavena)]

Was OpenSSL also compiled with the same version of Visual Studio?

Thin depends on both OpenSSL and Eventmachine library, the last being a bit problematic for some versions of Visual Studio (and also MinGW).

Can you confirm all the dependencies were compiled with the same compiler?

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Yes I compiled openssl also with same version of visual studio. Did not do anything related to event machine library

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

You can check the MSVCRT dependencies with Dependency Walker(http://www.dependencywalker.com).

Please check the dependency of ruby.exe, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

• File ruby exe depedency.png ruby exe depedency.png added
• File ssleay dependency.png ssleay dependency.png added

Dont know much about dependency checking, hence did not get much. But understood that three of them depends on both msvcrt.dll and msvcr90.dll. But logs in windows say faluting module path to msvcr90.dll. Attaching screenshot of dependency walker result for the reference

thin depends on eventmachine, if you haven't compiled eventmachine dependency, can you tell us the specific versions installed of the gems thin and eventmachine?. Please copy and paste the output of "gem list thin" and "gem list eventmachine"

Thank you.

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

It seems that Just-In-Time Debugging of Visual Studio inhibit the backtrace output of ruby.exe.

You can get the full backtrace by disabling Just-In-Time Debugging.

Refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5hs4b7a6(v=vs.90).aspx

Also, to disable Program Has Stopped Working Error Dialog

For Vista / Win7 / Server 2008 etc:

1. Open start menu and type “gpedit.msc”. The Local Group Policy editor will appear.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Error Reporting
3. Edit the entry for “Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors”
4. Set it to Enabled.

For Windows XP:

1. Open start menu, click on Run, and type “gpedit.msc”. The Group Policy editor will appear.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Error Reporting
3. Edit the entry for “Display error notification”
4. Set it to Enabled.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

debugger opens blank file. Also tried installing eventmachine and thin again with version used in my application. Here is gem list:-

Did you try to disable "Program Has Stopped Working Error" dialog?

1. Open start menu and type “gpedit.msc”. The Local Group Policy editor will appear.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Error Reporting
3. Edit the entry for “Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors”
4. Set it to Enabled.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Yes i did. It dod not show pop-up. but in command prompt i got same error only. And nothing in debugger

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

I am not sure what you mean by "nothing in debugger".

You must run ruby on command prompt without any debugger.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

'Nothing in debugger' by this i mean, when i see pop-up msg that ruby has stoppped working, it gives me option to debugor close the program. I choose to debug with Visual studio8 with Just in time debugger option enabled. But i did not see any log or trace for error.

Please let me know if i am missing anything to see it. I did all steps mentioned above

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

Are you sure you disabled "Program Has Stopped Working Error" dialog and Just-in-Time Debugging?

Then you can not see any pop-up message.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Yes i did. By doing that, Pop-up did not come, but visual studio also did not show anyhitng.

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

I cannot understand what you want to see with Visual Studio.

In cmd.exe console, you would run

C:>ruby bin/thin --ssl -a 127.0.0.1 -p 44466 start

When ruby crashes, ruby outputs backtrace to the console.

There is nothing to do with Visual Studio.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

• File console.png console.png added

Yes, this is what i tried. But console only displays one line "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." No other backtrace. Attaching screenshot for your reference

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

I saw a something similar issue at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/faye-users/BdbRYIkp1oo

The issuer solved by using MinGW Ruby instead of MSVC Ruby.

If you must use MSVC Ruby, you may need to debug ruby with WinDbg debugger to find out the problem.

Refer to
http://www.windbg.org/

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Yes it does not accur with mingw. For ruby 1.9.3p547 it tried both installer and compiling from source. It showed the same error on compiling from source(mswin). But, worked from installer(mingw). Did anyone else tried to build ruby from source and did not face this issue, if yes I want to cross check with compiling process.

Summarizing what i am doing:-

1. Builing openssl from source

2. downloaded other modules zlib, iconv, libxml2, libxslt

3. Set RUBY_PATH, INCLUDE, LIB pointintg to lib and include of zlib and openssl

   set RUBY_PATH=C:\Ruby19
   set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;......\zlib\include;......\openssl\include;..\openssl\include;......\iconv\include
   set LIB=%LIB%;......\zlib\lib;......\openssl\lib\win32;......\iconv\libwin32\configure.bat --prefix=%RUBY_PATH%

4. extract source of ruby and run from visual studio cmd prompt win32\configure.bat --prefix=%RUBY_PATH%

5. nmake

6. nmake install

7. copy openssl and iconv dll to ruby bin

8. install thin, psych evenmachine gems

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

OK. I have reproduced this crash.

And I found the cause of this issue.
The crash occurred in the following line of ed.cpp of eventmachine gem.

	#ifdef WITHOUT_SSL
	throw std::runtime_error ("Encryption not available on this event-machine");
	#endif

The eventmachine gem was built with WITHOUT_SSL macro on MSVC Compiler.

Here is a patch for eventmachine/ext/extconf.rb

diff --git a/extconf.rb b/extconf.rb.new
index 448802a..27a5b8b 100644

Thank you all for resolving this issue.
(I was trying to make a reproduction environment, but I was not in time.)

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

I only have to edit this gem, or it needs to be compile again?

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

You have two options.

1 Build gem for yourself

cd C:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\eventmachine-1.0.3\ext
edit extconf.rb as above
>ruby extconf.rb
>nmake
>copy rubyeventmachine.so C:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\eventmachine-1.0.3\lib

2 Issue bug to https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine/issues, wait until the bug fixed and gem install again.

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Tried building gem for myself. It is giving me error of dev tools. Though i do hace dev-kit installed and pat also has been set. Below is the error i am getting :-

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

I guess you have multiple ruby environments.

You must run c:\Ruby19\bin\ruby.exe with proper environment variables.

Try with something like this:

set PATH=c:\Ruby19\bin;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;c:\work\zlib-1.2.5\include;c:\wokr\libxml2-2.7.8.win32\include;c:\usr\local\ssl\include;c:\work\iconv-1.9.2.win32\include
set LIB=%LIB%;c:\work\zlib-1.2.5\lib;c:\usr\local\ssl\lib;c:\work\iconv-1.9.2.win32\lib;c:\wokr\libxml2-2.7.8.win32\lib

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Yep that was the issue. I removed the other ruby then tried. I created rubyeventmachine.so and i moved it. But again faced same issue. Is there anything which is missing?

Can you share the gem files which are working for you?

Also which ruby you tried 1.9.3p194 or 1.9.3p547?

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

What is the output of ruby extconf.rb?
The first two lines should be yes

The ruby version is not relevant to this issue.

I tried Ruby 1.9.3p545 with Visual Studio 2010 Express.

You must remove old ed.obj with nmake clean

[psaxena (Pooja Saxena)]

Tried it again after removing other ruby. It worked :)

Thanks all for your help.
