[ruby-core:28949] [Bug #3008] Can't compile ruby without ruby

From: caleb clausen <redmine@...>
Date: 2010-03-24 18:51:53 UTC
List: ruby-core #28949
Issue #3008 has been updated by caleb clausen.


Some of the ruby 1.9 build scripts are written in ruby. So, you must have an existing ruby already in order to build ruby 1.9. I had thought that the usual workaround was to build a ruby 1.8 release first (which doesn't have this restriction) and then use that to bootstrap 1.9. (I think perhaps Yusuke misspoke when he pointed you at a 1.9 tarball.....?)

This is a known limitation of ruby 1.9. It's not a terribly happy situation, but its not likely to be fixed soon either.
