native ext compilation failure

Reported by Vladimir Chizhov | April 13th, 2011 @ 05:34 AM

I can't install RedCloth with native extensions (via gem install). To clarify a problem I've checked out full source, created a separate build environment and ran rake compile. What I've got (that's similar to errors on gem install):

gcc -I. -I. -I/home/muzzy/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p334/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux -I../../../../ext/redcloth_scan -fPIC -g -O2 -fPIC -O0 -Wall -Werror -c ../../../../ext/redcloth_scan/redcloth_inline.c
ragel/redcloth_inline.c.rl: In function ‘red_block’:
ragel/redcloth_inline.c.rl:114:9: error: ‘attr_regs’ undeclared (first use in this function)
ragel/redcloth_inline.c.rl:114:9: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make: *** [redcloth_inline.o] Error 1

My environment:
$ gem list bundler (1.0.12)
diff-lcs (1.1.2)
rake (0.8.7)
rake-compiler (0.7.7)
rspec (2.5.0)
rspec-core (2.5.1)
rspec-expectations (2.5.0)
rspec-mocks (2.5.0)
rvm (1.2.9)

  • ruby 1.8.7-p334 (the same with 1.9,2-p180)
  • ragel 6.6
  • gcc 4.6.0
  • OS: Linux x86_64

Do U need smth else about my machine?

    Oops, please sorry. The error message, I've submitted, was after monkey-patching-experiments. On a clean code base it will be:

    gcc -I. -I. -I/home/muzzy/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p334/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux -I../../../../ext/redcloth_scan -fPIC -g -O2 -fPIC -O0 -Wall -Werror -c ../../../../ext/redcloth_scan/redcloth_inline.c
    ragel/redcloth_inline.c.rl: In function ‘red_block’:
    ragel/redcloth_inline.c.rl:99:9: error: variable ‘attr_regs’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
    cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

    I've downgraded my gcc from 4.6.0 to 4.5.2 and now everything is ok. So, the reason is obvious.

    Confirmed. gcc 4.5.2 compiles fine, and gcc 4.6.0 fails with the same error as comment #1.
    I suggest removing -Werror from the gcc options in extconf.rb.

    Yeah, pretty please take out the -Werror and put up a new version of the gem.

    I noticed this bug on Archlinux and just want to point out that this is a regression from 4.2.3 to 4.2.4.
    Maybe this can help to fix the bug.

    I'm running into the same error on Arch Linux x86, using GCC 4.6.0 and RedCloth 4.2.7 gem (through gem install RedCloth).

    Any chance this is going to be fixed?

    I have the same error on Fedora 15 with GCC 4.6

    gcc-Version 4.6.0 20110530 (Red Hat 4.6.0-9) (GCC)

    Any idea when this is going to be fixed?
