Bug #7227
closedfailed to build native extension for bcrypt-ruby gem under cygwin on windows xp
Description
I am setting up a testing agent on Windows XP for a Rails App. This question was posted by me on Stackoverflow, where, members of the community suggested that this was in fact a Ruby Bug I should report here. For consistency purposes, the original StackOverflow Post can be found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13057452/failed-to-build-native-extension-for-bcrypt-ruby-gem-under-cygwin-on-windows-xp
To enforce consistency between Agents, I am installing it through Bundler with RVM with Cygwin.
The following is the result of running bundle install in the project directory(EDIT: Note that running gem install bcrypt-ruby produces identical output):
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing bcrypt-ruby (3.0.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install bcrypt-ruby -v '3.0.1'
succeeds before bundling.
the cygwin gcc package is installed:
$ whereis gcc

$ gcc -v

bcrypt -v
bcrypt: unknown option -- v
Usage is: /bin/bcrypt -[orc][-sN] file1 file2..
-o Write output to standard out
-r Do NOT remove input files after processing
-c Do NOT compress files before encryption
-sN How many times to overwrite input files with random data
Results of further research:
Setting
rvm use system
(in my case 1.9.3-p286) allows bcrypt-ruby to install without incident
Installing 1.9.3-p286 through rvm and setting
rvm use 1.9.3-p286
Results in an identical (bar the ruby version) error message.
Installing on Mac OS X works without a hitch on numerous developer stations and several Mac Agents.

Aaron, are you one of bcrypt-ruby developers?
Do you know anything about this issue?

Looks like Aman fixed this in the bcrypt repository. It is not a bug in MRI, but a problem with the bcrypt-ruby extension.
