Bug #11118: Unable to build Ruby with Visual Studio 2015 RC

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: 2.2.2
• Backport: 2.0.0: WONTFIX, 2.1: WONTFIX, 2.2: WONTFIX, 2.3: WONTFIX

I installed the latest Visual Studio, and then tried to build Ruby 2.2.2 on Windows 7. But, I'm having trouble right away. This is an RC candidate (so I guess that's why the CLI shows Visual Studio 14).

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC>cl /?
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.00.22816 for x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\djberge\Downloads\Ruby\ruby-2.2.2>win32\configure.bat
win32\rtname: conftest.exe is not linked to msvcrt
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'win32\rtname' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

Any ideas?

This issue is due to the runtime name change.
Since the Visual Studio 2014, the runtime is vcruntime140.dll.

Refer to http://mariusbancila.ro/blog/2014/06/05/crt-refactored-in-visual-studio-14/

The other huddle is FILE structure Encapsulation:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2014/06/18/crt-features-fixes-and-breaking-changes-in-visual-studio-14-ctp1.aspx

win32/win32.c should be rewritten in order to be built with Visual Studio 2014 or later.

FYI, naruse-san has already surveyed it, and some parts of its result have been committed into trunk.

Now that RTM is out, is any progress being made on this?

You may understand the situation by seeing https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/884.

Status is

• Ruby 2.3 or prior won't fix this.
• Ruby 2.4 or later may introduce with fundamental architectural change.
