Bug #7623: Messages while RDoc generation

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: 2.0.0
• ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-linux]

[tomoakin (Tomoaki Nishiyama)]

The message reported in
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5366
happened during compilation of the ruby-1.9.3-p327.tar.bz2 distribution on CentOS6.
While the message was observed just by extract, configure and make,
make clean just after configure did not help either.

Linux xxxx 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 6 23:43:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

steps to reproduce
$ tar jxvf ruby-1.9.3-p327.tar.bz2
$ cd ruby-1.9.3-p327
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
$ make

These messages are unclear if they are normal notification/warnings
that may be ignored, or error messages that should be taken care of.
make test reported no error.
If this is not a bad indicator, some explanation in document is desired.

make; make clean; make
sequence have not solved problem, but
generated the following error:

configuring zlib

make: *** [build-ext] Error 2

This is apparently another problem, which need not be handled in normal installation.
But suggests that make clean fails to delete something that should be deleted or
insufficient information is described in the Makefile.

[tomoakin (Tomoaki Nishiyama)]

Thank you for looking at my report.
My point is on the messages:

lib/mkmf.rb:1117:29: Couldn't find STRING_OR_FAILED_FORMAT. Assuming it's a module
lib/irb/inspector.rb:36:36: Couldn't find INSPECTORS. Assuming it's a module
Enclosing class/module 'mDigest' for class MD5 not known
Enclosing class/module 'mDigest' for class RMD160 not known
Enclosing class/module 'mDigest' for class SHA1 not known
Enclosing class/module "cASN1ObjectId" for alias short_name sn not known
Enclosing class/module "cASN1ObjectId" for alias long_name ln not known

make after make clean was just to test if the above message disappear after one round of make.
The make after make clean problem was solved in 1.9.3-p362 but the above message continued.
