Building Ruby on AIX -- again

[Matt Lawrence]

I finally have a stable system to use to try to build Ruby. Here's the
info:

oslevel 5.2.0.0

gcc --version

gcc (GCC) 3.3.3
Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO

And here's the error I'm getting:

Any ideas?

What version of ruby?

And here's the error I'm getting:

Seems configure script failed to detect functions. Can you
show us the config.log?

 

[Matt Lawrence]

What version of ruby?
1.8.1


Seems configure script failed to detect functions. Can you
show us the config.log?

It's really long. After going through the log, it looks like configure is
trying to link against libm, which doesn't exist. My guess is that
configure needs to be told what the correct library is.

I'm way outside my expertise right now, I have no clue how the configure
process actually works.

libm really doesn't exist? Then where are math functions?

Ok, I'm an idiot. I needed to install the bos.adt.* packages. Hopefully
somebody else will find this message in the archives and avoid looking
like a fool.

Now I'm down to this error:

Add -liconv to DLDFLAGS in ext/iconv/Makefile.

Any ideas on how to get configure to do the right thing for this one?

I'm making progress. Now socket isn't being built. Here's an excerpt
from ext/socket/mkmf.log:

"gcc -o conftest -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-aix5.2.0.0

sh: TARGET: not found.
gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line

I'm not sure how these commands are being built, so I don't know how to
move the -b option. Help?

Show the ext/iconv/mkmf.log. Otherwise I have no clue to solve
it.

That patch worked perfectly. I've been trying to stay with the current
released version, 1.8.1. Should I be trying the nightly snapshot instead?

Now I'm back to the problem of the socket library not getting built. The
error seems to be:

1.8.2 preview will be released soon, perhaps.

It seems that the patch hasn't been reflected. If it were
applied correctly, the command run by have_library shouldn't
have a space between -o and conftest.

I double checked the patch. Then I deleted the entire source directory
and recreated it, copied in the patched configure.in, ran autoconf, ran
configure and then ran make. Same problem. Am I doing something wrong?

Here's an excerpt of the patched config.in:

Slightly mangled by Pine wordwrapping. Oops. What do you think? Any
idea of what I should try next?

Nope, same error. Finding another prebuilt gcc for AIX 5.2 is going to be
a pain. Unless, of course, I'm only missing some other package. What do
you think?
