Description andros705 2017-10-05 21:50:32 UTC

I stumbled upon this issue when trying to compile dev-ruby/ffi-1.9.6-r2 on 5/10/2017.
dev-ruby/rake is not defined as a dependency for dev-ruby/ffi yet it won't compile without it.

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-ruby/ffi/ffi-1.9.6-r2.ebuild

each_ruby_compile() {
	emake -Cext/ffi_c V=1
	cp ext/ffi_c/ffi_c.so lib/ || die

	${RUBY} -S rake -f gen/Rakefile || die "types.conf generation failed"
}

especially this part:
${RUBY} -S rake -f gen/Rakefile

-S looks for a rake script in PATH, it won't find it if it's not installed.

Fixed by adding a built-time dependency on dev-ruby/rake. Thanks for reporting.
