[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

I experienced a build failure during build extension library with trunk on Windows.

make[2]: Entering directory `/c/work/ruby-2.1.0-r43936/ext/bigdecimal'
generating bigdecimal-i386-mingw32.def
compiling bigdecimal.c
In file included from bigdecimal.c:20:0:
bigdecimal.h:62:1: error: static declaration of 'labs' follows non-static declar
ation
make[2]: *** [bigdecimal.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/work/ruby-2.1.0-r43936/ext/bigdecimal'
make[1]: *** [ext/bigdecimal/all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/work/ruby-2.1.0-r43936'
make: *** [build-ext] Error 2

I found the cause of this error is mkmk failure.
Here is a part of mkmf.log

Cannot create temporary file in C:\Users\??苑?AppData\Local\Temp\: Invalid argument

The TEMP environment varable is

C:\work\ruby-2.1.0-r43936>set TEMP
TEMP=C:\Users\희섭\AppData\Local\Temp

It seems that miniruby cannot handle encoding properly.

C:\work\ruby-2.1.0-r43936>miniruby -ve "p ENV['TEMP']"
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-11-30 trunk 43936) [i386-mingw32]
"C:\\Users\\\xED\x9D\xAC\xEC\x84\xAD\\AppData\\Local\\Temp"

C:\work\ruby-2.1.0-r43936>miniruby.exe -ve "p ENV['TEMP'].encoding"
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-11-30 trunk 43936) [i386-mingw32]
#<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>	

Whereas, the final ruby can handle encoding properly.

C:\work>ruby -ve "p ENV['TEMP']"
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-11-30 trunk 43923) [i386-mingw32]
"C:\\Users\\희섭\\AppData\\Local\\Temp"	

C:\work>ruby -ve "p ENV['TEMP'].encoding"
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-11-30 trunk 43923) [i386-mingw32]

"This application" is not ruby.
It's your compiler.
Please contact the compiler's support team for more information :)

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

Yes, the error message is not from ruby, but from mingw compilers.
And I found TMP environtment variable is the actual cause of this error.
Nevertheless, I think Ruby is not entirely free from this error.

If I run "ruby extconf.rb" in ext/bigdecimal folder,
The mkmf works as expected without error on the same environment.

Anyway, I leave this message for the record:
If you want to build ruby from source with Mingw toolchain,
the TMP environment variable should not contain non-ascii string.

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

Is TEMP changed by miniruby?
miniruby -e "system('set TEMP')"
shows the correct path?

[phasis68 (Heesob Park)]

Yes, it shows the correct path.

C:\work\ruby-2.1.0-r43936>miniruby.exe -e "system('set TEMP')"
TEMP=C:\Users\희섭\AppData\Local\Temp

BTW, In Visual C++ compiler, I can see same build failure with non-ascii USERNAME environment variable.

Ah, I see.
There is a bug of handling the environment variables in miniruby.
I'm debugging it now...

This issue was solved with changeset r43950.
Heesob, thank you for reporting this issue.
Your contribution to Ruby is greatly appreciated.
May Ruby be with you.

r43950 (and r43958) is only a workaround.
We have to change the entire implementation of ENV to treat encoding.

I'm unable to reproduce. Windows presents an ascii-safe alias of the TEMP folder for me so I can't seem to test the handling:

• windows 11 (Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621)

Thank you for testing.
Does it work after set TEMP=C:\Users\희섭\tmp?
