Issue #6119 has been reported by Luis Lavena. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6119: Usage of CPPFLAGS during configure result in duplicated values for RbConfig CPPFLAGS information https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6119 Author: Luis Lavena Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Nobuyoshi Nakada Category: build Target version: 1.9.3 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p163 (2012-03-06 revision 34932) [i386-mingw32] When attempted to use FD_SETSIZE preprocesor definition under Windows to increase number of file descriptions, found that configure script replicated it. A simple configure invoke with `sh configure --enable-shared CPPFLAGS='-DFD_SETSIZE=32767' result in the following value returned by RbConfig: <pre> irb(main):001:0> require "rbconfig" => false irb(main):002:0> RbConfig::CONFIG["CPPFLAGS"] => "-DFD_SETSIZE=32767 -DFD_SETSIZE=32767" </pre> Above is result from Ruby 1.9.3, and for ruby-trunk: <pre> irb(main):001:0> require "rbconfig" => false irb(main):002:0> RbConfig::CONFIG["CPPFLAGS"] => "-DFD_SETSIZE=32767 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 -DFD_SETSIZE=32767" </pre> I'm not very versed on configure.in, so can't find the culprit of this duplication, sorry about that. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
