From: Eric Jacoboni Date: 2011-11-09T22:11:45+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:40881] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5601] Ruby 1.9.3 fails to compile in directories with accent in their names Issue #5601 has been updated by Eric Jacoboni. Agree with that... For my own, i never use accents nor spaces in my filenames or directory names. But the point is that installation process fails and that Linux boxes allow now UTF-8 encoded filenames... If Ruby is not able to compile in such a situation it should be at least mentionned in the README, IMHO. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5601: Ruby 1.9.3 fails to compile in directories with accent in their names http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5601 Author: Eric Jacoboni Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 1.9.3 ruby -v: 1.9.3-p0 Trying to compile ruby in a directory with a name containing accents fails : To reproduce, use a directory named "T��l��chargements" (as xdg-users-dir create it on some French Linux boxes). Download the ruby tar archive, place it in this directory, untar it and then try the stanza "./configure && make" : $ ./configure (...) $ make (...) linking miniruby ./tool/mkconfig.rb:11:in `require': incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and US-ASCII (Encoding::CompatibilityError) from ./tool/mkconfig.rb:11:in `
