Forum: Ruby-core [ruby-trunk - Bug #6807][Open] Can't compile ruby without ruby

 What happened:
  I tried to compile  on a new Linux systems (Ubuntu 12.04 and a current 
custom Linux build)
  I get the error:
 executable host ruby is required. use --with-baseruby option.
 make: *** [miniprelude.c] Error 1

 What I expected:
  I expect that ruby should compile.

This is a repeat of bug 3008, which was closed a couple of years ago. I 
tried checking out at the exact commit that fixed 3008 and got the same 
result, so I'm thinking either something has changed outside of ruby 
since the fix, or possibly the fix never worked for Linux (the comment 
in the commit says ...for HP UX")?

 There are no docs for how to get around this.  How can I get ruby on a 
system if I can't compile ruby?

AFAIK, if you build from trunk (a direct checkout) you need Ruby.

Release packages do not need a base Ruby since the specific files that 
depend on installed Ruby has already been generated and packaged in the 
file.

Perhaps you can try the nightly snapshots which I believe meet this 
scenario.

From download page:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

Downloaded http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/snapshot.tar.gz

That should work without an installed Ruby.

I'd like to reopen this after raising it on the mailing list. On a Linux 
system with autotools, GCC etc,
but no pre-existing Ruby, make fails for the following snapshots:

http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/snapshot.tar.gz
http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p392.tar.gz

Could you elaborate what you did exactly?

I could not reproduce it with a Ubuntu 12.10 sandbox created by 
debootstrap.

  $ sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 quantal /srv/ubuntu 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
  $ sudo cp ruby-2.0.0-p0.tar.bz2 /srv/ubuntu/tmp
  $ sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /srv/ubuntu/etc/apt
  $ sudo chdoor /srv/ubuntu
  # apt-get install autoconf make gcc
  # cd /tmp
  # tar xjf ruby-2.0.0-p0.tar.bz2
  # cd /ruby-2.0.0-p0
  # ruby  # ruby: command not found
  # ./configure
  # make  # succeeded

I'm working on a custom Linux appliance build, in a chroot, so it is 
possible the problem is at my end. I'll follow your steps when I have 
access to an Ubuntu machine and update then

Thank you

The only situation which we could thought of was that you did `make 
distclean' before `make'.

If it's not the case, please reopen this ticket.
