Subject: [ruby-core:54902] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8387][Open] Compiling Ruby 2.0 on SunOS


Issue #8387 has been reported by dese.co.uk (Dave E).

----------------------------------------
Bug #8387: Compiling Ruby 2.0 on SunOS
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8387

Author: dese.co.uk (Dave E)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: dese.co.uk (Dave E)
Category: build
Target version: 
ruby -v: 2
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


Gentlemen,

we are currently underway to provide a Ruby2.0 package for Sun Solaris / OpenIndiana.

configure fails on:

- OpenIndiana a1507 (amd64)
- Sun Solaris 10 (amd64, sparcv9)
- Oracle Solaris 10 (amd64, sparcv9)
- Oracle Solaris 11 (amd64, sparcv9)
- Oracle Solaris 11.1 (amd64, sparcv9)

with error message:

./configure: line 2093: syntax error at line 43706: `(' unexpected

the above error origins from these 2 lines:

-e 's/\${rubyarchprefix}/"RUBY_ARCH_PREFIX_FOR(arch)"/g' \
-e 's/\${rubysitearchprefix}/"RUBY_SITEARCH_PREFIX_FOR(arch)"/g' \

Reason:
------------------------------------
the sh shell is unable to interpret the arch command correctly.

Resolution:
------------------------------------
After the configure script was created involving the autoconf command,
change the first line in the configure script from:

-#!/bin/sh
+#!/bin/bash

The GNU bash, version 4.0.28(1)-release (i386-pc-solaris2.11) will interpret 
the arch command correctly.

I trust you find the above helpful.

Regards,
Dave.
