Bug 20658 – Vim-6.2_pre3 fails to do final linking with ruby-1.8

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Johnson 2003-05-08 18:00:40 UTC]

Vim 6.2_pre3 has a problem when linking with ruby-1.8.0, either bad input to 
configure or something bad in the configure file.

Note the actual error line:
"gcc: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux-gnu/-lruby-static: No such file or directory"

This is not the current format for a gcc option.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="ruby" emerge vim
2.
3.

Actual Results:

[Comment 1 Tom Payne (RETIRED) 2003-05-09 04:50:12 UTC]

Ruby-1.8.0 is still under development, and includes a number of low-level API changes. It is most likely that VIM has never been tested with Ruby 1.8.0 (most Ruby packages haven't either, yet!). Note the ruby-1.8.0_pre2 ebuild is marked unstable in CVS.

I use USE="-ruby" emerge vim for the moment (I'm using the latest Ruby CVS).

I recommend this should be filed as a VIM problem not a Gentoo problem.

[Comment 2 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-05-14 21:50:50 UTC]

This is why the vim eclass has

   ruby? ( =dev-lang/ruby-1.6* )

I would like to fix this in vim eventually, but considering ruby-1.8 is still in development, and the ebuild already flags the dependency...  This can't be considered a blocker.

[Comment 3 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-05-25 15:39:45 UTC]

This is fixed as of vim-6.2_pre4 with a Vim patch that I've sent to Bram for consideration.
