Message-ID: <redmine.journal-67379.20171020021609.7a774f34408da639@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-13653.20170613120147@ruby-lang.org
Issue #13653 has been updated by shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe).
We took a look at this issue at yesterday's developer meeting.
It surprised me that currently, zlib and several other header files are mandatory for building ruby from the source. It might be trivial for developers like us, but not for everyone who try compiling ruby.
The solutions to cover this glitch might include:
- Ship zlib along with ruby. This menu has additional choice whether the bundled zlib shall be statically linked or not.
- Fetch and compile zlib before building ruby, by the ruby-build script. This one needs to pass the result of zlib detection between ruby and ruby-build.
Either way ext/zlib has to be aware of the situation. The OP's pull request is for that purpose.

Feature #13653: Bundled zlib helper
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13653#change-67379
* Author: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)
* Target version:
----------------------------------------
I created experimentally implementation for zlib-binding helper of bundled build.
* https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1638
* https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/ruby/ruby/pull/1638.patch
I also maintain ruby-build that is multi-platform build wrapper for ruby. I often got build failure
report caused to missing zlib headers. examples are here.
* https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/832
* https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/780
I hope to resolve this situation for ruby users.
my patch make to build zlib-binding with bundled zlib sources. It only enabled when It was given
`--enable-bundled-zlib` option with `configure` phase.
