Problem building/using Rocoto against Ruby v2.X under SLES12 #1

Closed texas-swift closed 8 years ago

texas-swift commented 8 years ago

SLES 12 provides Ruby at a base level of v2.1. Can Rocoto be built against Ruby v2.X? Or does it require Ruby v1.8?

When running ./INSTALL from rocoto, I see messages like this:

compiling system_timer_native.c In file included from system_timer_native.c:8:0: /usr/include/ruby-2.1.0/ruby/backward/rubysig.h:14:2: warning: #warning rubysig.h is obsolete [-Wcpp]

The current version of Rocoto requires version 1.8.7 of Ruby. Updating Rocoto to work with Ruby 2.x is under consideration, but there are no definitive plans yet.

Hello Christopher,

Thanks for the confirmation of Ruby 2.x not being supported yet.

Regards, Spencer

FYI, I have made some first steps toward compatibility with Ruby > 1.8. Initial results look encouraging, but more testing is needed.

Hello Christopher.

Thank you for the update. I did manage to get Ruby v1.8 working under SLES12 recently. And was able to complete a customer benchmark requiring rocoto. However, if we complete a sale there, my preference would be to deliver an installation against the default SLES12 Ruby v2 installation.

Please continue to keep me updated. Or is there an announcement list I can subscribe to?

Thank you again, Spencer

Hi Spencer,

You can follow the issue thread on GitHub to keep up to date. However, I may have good news for you already. After a couple additional adjustments and tests, I believe I have a version that works for all versions of ruby >= 1.8.

If you would like to test, please check out the issue_1 branch from GitHub and use ./INSTALL to build it for your version of Ruby. It should build and function correctly. Let me know your results. Unless I hear of problems from user testing, I will merge this onto the master branch and it will be included with the next Rocoto release, 1.2.3.

I have merged the issue_1 branch onto the master and deleted issue_1. If you would like to test compatibility, please clone the master. The next release will include compatibility with Ruby > 1.8. To be notified, you can "watch" this repository via GitHub interface.
