Issue #16905 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). This could perhaps be a bug. I think you can normally build "miniruby" if a base ruby is not available on the computer system, and then the compilation step uses that miniruby for the compilation part. At the least this is how I understood it to work. Hopefully someone from the core team can have a look - would be great if ruby could work on HaikuOS out of the box. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16905: Ruby required to build Ruby on Haiku? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16905#change-85731 * Author: extrowerk (Zolt=E1n Mizsei) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: not yet built, last running version 2.7.0p0 * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Building Ruby on Haiku results the following error: ``` executable host ruby is required. use --with-baseruby option. ``` Build environment: ``` ~> uname -a Haiku shredder 1 hrev54197 May 14 2020 06:44:52 x86_64 x86_64 Haiku ``` Current recipe and patchset: https://github.com/extrowerk/haikuports/tree/ruby_2.7.1/dev-lang/ruby ---Files-------------------------------- ruby_buildlog.txt (35.4 KB) -- = https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=3Dunsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
