error while running configure on the current trunk on ubuntu

Hi all,

I'm stucked trying to compile the trunk. I run the bootstrap.sh shell. Then, the configure script returns me a error about xml2 library :
checking for xmlParseMemory in -lxml2... no
configure: error: You need the library xml2 to compile Armagetron. Read the file doc/install_linux.html.
The lib and dev packages are both installed. The problem is that I don't have this message with the 0.3.0 source package from download pages ...
the libs are in /usr/lib.
the xml2-config works fine :
voodoo:~/armad/armagetronad-0.3.0$ xml2-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lxml2
Any idea ? Thx by advance...

Could you send the config.log the failed attepmt produced? And the complete output of the ./bootstrap.sh ; ./configure sequence? And the produced configure script to compare with the one that is generated here? It's strange behavior all right

Here they are ...

Ah, rather obscurely hidden error

You don't have ruby installed. It's required currently for trunk compilation, but apparently, there is no check done whether it is on the system.

Stealth compile failure

Code: Select all

checking for ruby... ruby

and

Code: Select all

configure:5788: checking for ruby
configure:5804: found /usr/bin/ruby

but

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby

Odd.

Actually I have Ruby 1.8 installed (std and dev packages)...

Ok, I got it. For some reason, there's no symbolic link for libruby.so (only with version included in the name). I add that missing link and it's fine now ...

We should probably being doing something like:

Code: Select all

link_ruby = $(ruby -rrbconfig <<EOF
print Config::CONFIG["LIBRUBY"]
EOF)
export LDFLAGS = "${LDFLAGS} -l${link_ruby}"

Not tested yet, though.
