Building ruby/gsl

[Badal]

Windows XP and ruby 1.9.2. Devkit 4.5.1

I successfully compiled gsl itself.

But trying to install ruby/gsl,
- with 'gem install gsl', it fails directly and strangely saves
sources in gems/narray-0.5.9.9/src, sources which have nothing to do
with the real gem sources !!!
- loading the real sources, and using setup.rb, il fails also, this
time in a regular way.

Has anybody installed ruby/gsl under windows ?

Please provide complete output you're getting in the console, if not,
is hard for us to deduce what is going on and is will require we try
to replicate all your steps.

Also, look at mkmf.log left in the gem directory.

I'm not familiar with ruby-gsl so can't comment on they gem and what
is doing, so please provide the more details as possible, include
where you installed gsl and if you provided it to the gem installation
process (gem install -- --with-gsl-dir or something like that)

Do you have configured/compiled gsl in that folder?

This is the output of mkmf.log, and is clearly not finding any library
information.

I will recommend you don't use setup.rb, as that will install things
in your site_ruby folder, which will be hard then to track.

The idea is you get things installed thru the gem using the options
that extconf indicates to you:

--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=C:/Ruby192/bin/ruby

It is clear it doesn't support --with-gsl-dir, so please try:

--with-opt-dir=C:/gsl-1.14

as long that folder contains the compiled binaries of gsl (include
folder with headers and lib folder with libraries)

Yes ! Now it "works", but complains not finding 'libnarray.a'.

As can be deduced from the strange mkmf.log message, I guess this gem
is a twisted descendant of the 'narray' gem and needs both the gsl
library and the compiled narray : there is 'libnarray.a' in C:
\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\narray-ruby19-0.5.9.7-x86-
mingw32\lib.

I think I can solve it myself now. Anyhow, I'll report for the record.

Thanks once more, Luis !

I think you should approach the gem author and ask about the
requirements, as is not clear looking at the documentation;

http://rb-gsl.rubyforge.org/

What is need. *that* is one of the biggest problems Ruby users on
Windows face. Users in other platforms do find the same, but they just
simply remain silent :P

I posted a bug on rubyforge.

I tried on Ubuntu Lucid with libgsl...-dev: just "gem install gsl" and
it works.
So it's a Windows question. I'll mail to the Japanese author.

As you mention, you installed libgsl :)

[Badal]

State of the problem as of today :

The same thing happens when building 'narray' alone (which is the
first dependency for ruby/gsl), either with 'gem install' or 'setup'.

I am discussing by mail with Yoshiki Tsunesada (ruby/gsl's author) and
will report here if and when solved.

I did install gsl.1-14 with headers.

I double checked with the compiled gsl-dev-win32 from

http://code.google.com/p/oscats/downloads/detail?name=gsl-1.14-dev-win32.zip&can=2&q=

and got the same error in the compilation of narray ::

The Makefile generated from extconf.rb appears broken; search in your C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/narray-0.5.9.9/Makefile for the line starting with 'dldflags'. The source of the problem is in the extconf.rb file, likely in this area https://github.com/masa16/narray/blob/master/extconf.rb#L55-65

FWIW, when I mod the old Makefile's 'dldflags' line to look like

dldflags = -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base,--enable-auto-import,--out-implib=libnarray.a $(DEFFILE)

This is the corresponding line in the source loaded by ruby/gsl :

dldflags = -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base,--enable-auto-import $
(DEFFILE),--out-implib=libnarray.a

When I modify it like you do :

Yes, works for me too.

Which means the narray source loaded by ruby/gsl is wrong.

Thanks you very much !!!

Can you verify that dldflags is not altered in the extconf.rb? Most of
the times flags are entered there that are affecting extension
generation.

Glad the hack worked and I'd urge you to let the gem author know the issue. If you're not comfortable submitting a patch via a pull-request, maybe a quick email pointing back to this thread.

I wrote to Yoshiki (author of ruby/gsl). I'll wait for his answer and
if necessary report directly to narray's author. I moreover suspect
the plain narray-0.5.9.9 not to be 1.9 compatible, as there exists a
compiled narray-ruby19-0.5.9.7-x86-mingw32.

Well, that most likely the culprit :

if /cygwin|mingw/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM
if RUBY_VERSION > '1.8.0'
$DLDFLAGS << ",--out-implib=libnarray.a"
elsif RUBY_VERSION > '1.8'
CONFIG["DLDFLAGS"] << ",--out-implib=libnarray.a"
system("touch libnarray.a")
else
CONFIG["DLDFLAGS"] << " --output-lib libnarray.a"
end
end

This if/elsif similar tests look quite strange (and do produce the
wrong line), but I am not at ease there.
_md

[Luis Lavena]

Seems that narray is not prepared for 1.9, specially 1.9.2, as the
whole DLDFLAGS is a bit different.

[sgwong]

I tried making the changes on the DLDFLAGS and successfully to install
ruby/gsl on my windows with ruby version 1.9.2
running some ruby gls test file without any error and it seems to be
working fine.

this is just 1 of the test...

If I understand you well, you loaded ruby/gsl source, ran configure
and changed the DLDFLAGS for ruby/gsl ?
_md

[sgwong]

The proper way should be update the update the extconf.rb and create a
new gem file. But I never create any gem before and lazy to read the
doc to create a new gem. I just do some hacking just to make sure I
able to install the narray gem.
First I create a modified makefile with appropriate changes call
Makefile1 in C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\narray-0.5.9.9\src
Then I rename the make.exe in devkit to make1.exe and create a batch
file call make.bat with the following content:
"""
del Makefile
copy Makefile1 Makefile
c:\devkit451\bin\make1.exe
"""
Then just run gem install narray in C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems
\narray-0.5.9.9\src
Then it should be able to install narray correctly. After that, undo
the change to make1.exe and install gsl gem.
(at first I tried to modified the Makefile and install it but the gem
command will update the Makefile with extconf.rb from the gem)

Yes, please provide feedback directly to narray's gem author so that he can update the extconf.rb and push an updated gem to rubygems.org. His email's here https://github.com/masa16

The Makefile hack was nothing more than a quick test and I'd hate to see it be viewed as a fix :)

I send a mail to Tanaka, explaining our need, and asking for his help.
_md

Submitted issue at:
https://github.com/masa16/narray/issues/issue/2

It is up to the developer to update the gem. I don't use narray gem,
just install it for fun.

I sent this before. Maybe a server problem ?
Apologies if it appear twice...

I am still trying to install ruby/gsl
Please do not hesitate to tell me you are fed up with it.

Hello, as I mentioned before, you need to provide links to:

* where you got the binaries of gsl library and if those binaries are
for windows
* gsl-config is not an executable on Windows, so you can't rely that
bash finds it.
* you need to use --with-gsl-dir instead of gsl-config, but that will
work as long gsl has been build and configured for Windows.

Since we are not making *any* progress on this thread, going to cover
all the steps involved:

A) Download a binary of gsl for Windows:

You can download gsl 1.8 from gnuwin32:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gsl.htm
You need binary and Development files:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/gsl-bin-zip.php
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/gsl-lib-zip.php

Please note the special instructions

Or:

B) Compile it from sources:

ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/gnu/gsl/

ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.14.tar.gz

See this gist with the complete steps:

https://gist.github.com/754400

2) the narray gem do not compiled properly, as narray is a dependency
of gsl gem:

https://rubygems.org/gems/gsl

narray is playing with DLDFLAGS incorrectly, why is setting the output
lib? is not required, but the gem needs to be tweaked.

3) to patch narray gem:

gem fetch narray

gem unpack narray-0.5.9.9

cd narray-0.5.9.9

(edit extconf.rb and remove the DLDFLAGS section)

gem spec ..\narray-0.5.9.9.gem > narray.gemspec

gem build narray.gemspec

C:\Users\Luis\Projects\_sandbox\narray-0.5.9.9>gem install narray-0.5.9.9.gem

Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Successfully installed narray-0.5.9.9
1 gem installed

So, unless narray is fixed, there is nothing that can be done on gsl
area so far.

4) Now with narray fixed and installed, let's try install gsl again:

https://gist.github.com/754414

And it failed now, but due something related to NArray.

Conclusion:

So the thing is figure out what is wrong with both gems, but first
NArray and get it working. Maybe is not working by the way the code is
written

According to previous gems:

https://rubygems.org/gems/narray

There was a version for x86-mingw32 (RubyInstaller) but I believe was
just for Ruby 1.8

So:

1) NArray needs to be fixed. Please ask the author to use
rake-compiler to provide native binaries for Windows or at least catch
the errors we are seeing using cross-compilation techniques. There is
no need for the gem author have a Windows installation.

http://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler

2) Once NArray is sorted out, let's see how gsl gem depends on NArray
been installed and compiled.

There are some people will say this things just works on Linux, but
sometimes is more "works on my machine" and fluke of luck than
anything else.

Sorry for the long email and sorry for not providing a concrete answer
to you, but is the most I can due due the time I have available.

Regards,

[Badal]

Luis,

The process B, 2, 3, 4 you describe is exactly the one I did follow.
And it failed at the same point.
I can add an element : I have a project using narray, I checked that
the (extconf patched) compiled narray 0.5.9.9. gem works.
The problem lies somewhere in the way gsl compilation uses narray
I mailed to both gem authors and give up for the time being for gsl/
windows.

Happy Xmas !
