["hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA) via ruby-core" <ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org>]

Issue #17174 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).

Status changed from Open to Closed

Unfortunately, there is no active maintainer for musl or alpine platform.

I tagged them to [musl](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-master/issues?fields%5B%5D=issue_tags&operators%5Bissue_tags%5D=%3D&set_filter=1&values%5Bissue_tags%5D%5B%5D=musl). We welcome patch for them.

Misc #17174: "Error relocating, symbol not found" error when compiling a native extension on Alpine with Ruby >=2.4

* Author: Nakilon (Victor Maslov)

----------------------------------------
My native extension gem compiles fine with all versions of Ruby on macOS but only with Ruby 2.3 on Alpine. It throws various `Error relocating`, `symbol not found` when I require the `.o` file. Here I made a branch to reproduce it in Docker quickly.
```
git clone https://github.com/Nakilon/dhash-vips.git --branch alpine-compilation-issues alpine-compilation-issues && cd alpine-compilation-issues
```
```
# compiles and does not fail on require
docker build - -t temp-ruby2.3.8 --build-arg RUBY_VERSION=2.3.8 --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.8 <Dockerfile

# Error relocating /dhash-vips/idhash.so: rb_deprecate_constant: symbol not found - /dhash-vips/idhash.so (LoadError)
docker build - -t temp-ruby2.4.10 --build-arg RUBY_VERSION=2.4.10 --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.11 <Dockerfile

docker build - -t temp-ruby2.6.6 --build-arg RUBY_VERSION=2.6.6 --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.12 <Dockerfile
```
I wanted to ask in the Mailing List but for some reason my email didn't reach it. Guy on Freenode recommended to post here.
