Mac OS X installation with/without ARCHFLAGS + rvm not working about ruby-stemmer HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi michael,

On my system with rvm 1.2.7 and Mac OS X 10.6.7:

/Users/aurelian/.rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/ruby: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Users/aurelian/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bin/ruby: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Users/aurelian/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

The idea of unless ENV['ARCHFLAGS'].nil?: don't set ARCHFLAGS if aren't set and if set, make sure they get the same value as the ruby binary.
So, this is not to allow one to set this env. var. but just to make sure it gets the same value as the ruby executable. Somehow on your system the regexp fails :|

file command is indeed not reliable and this will fail very nicely also with universal binaries.

What error message did you get? Maybe setting ARCHFLAGS to nothing will solve this for you e.g.

ARCHFLAGS="" gem install ruby-stemmer

from ruby-stemmer.

Here's mine ( also on OSX 10.6.7)
$: rvm -v
rvm 1.6.5 by Wayne E. Seguin ([email protected]) [https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]

Maybe there's some compiler option that turned off the addition of the arch identification on the binaries.
That's not really the issue.

ARCHFLAGS="" gem ... doesn't work because it has to be nil
Only unsetting ARCHFLAGS will work which is not a reasonable option for folks using bundler or geminstaller (deprecated) which have other native components that need the ARCHFLAGS defined to compile properly (e.g. mysql, postgres,

Using ARCHFLAGS that way is probably not such a good idea. The point of ARCHFLAGS is to set the arch explicitly to deal with cases where the arch is not necessarily identifiable or the mechanism to identify it is inconsistent.

IMHO, if someone sets ARCHFLAGS to something not matching their ruby version, that's too bad - they should know better once they choose to use it. The default when ARCHFLAGS is not set should be to try to identify it.
A warning could be issued to indicate that there's a discrepancy, but it shouldn't stop the process.

thanks,
michael.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your input on this.
For a future release, I'm thinking to take the pg approach: the install script won't touch in any way the ARCHFLAGS.
