Bug 143002 – Can't compile Ruby 1.8.5-pre1 with profiling

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description M. Edward Borasky 2006-08-06 11:30:16 UTC]

I am attempting to build Ruby 1.8.5-pre1 with "gprof" profiling. I used the call

# CFLAGS='-g -pg' FEATURES='keeptemp keepwork' emerge -v ruby

and it got the following error:

Generating RDoc documentation
./miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- "./bin/rdoc" --all --ri --op "/var/tmp/portage/ruby-1.8.5_pre1/image//usr/share/ri/1.8/system" "."
make: *** [do-install-doc] Profiling timer expired

!!! ERROR: dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5_pre1 failed.

!!! make install failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.


I suspect this is upstream -- I'm going to try it outside of Portage and see if it breaks the same way. I don't consider this a very important thing to have fixed, although if it's a Ruby problem, they might. :)

I've been able to get it to compile and install manually from the Gentoo source tarball. The option that's breaking it is "--enable-install-doc" in the "configure" step. It looks like the default from Ruby is "--disable-install-doc". It's crashing in the Rdoc step that generates the documentation. If I can track down an official Ruby source tarball, I'll see if I can reproduce this and file it on the Ruby bug repository.

I filed this upstream -- pure Ruby breaks. They rejected it. So ... you might as well close it as "upstream."
