Description Anton Shterenlikht 2014-10-24 08:08:36 UTC 
on ia64-10 ruby fails to build in poudriere with

library: ncursesw
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/lang/ruby20/work/ruby-2.0.0-p576/lib/mkmf.rb:1820: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 2.0.0p576 (2014-09-19 revision 47628) [ia64-freebsd10]

Comment 1 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-01 11:56:17 UTC 
auto-assigner failed due to poor title; it couldn't figure out what port this pertained to.
Comment 2 Steve Wills freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-12 04:00:46 UTC 
This looks to be somewhat ia64 specific, did this just start happening? Any chance you can figure out what's wrong and provide a patch? Otherwise, I'm afraid the only thing I will be able to do is mark it as broken on ia64.
Comment 3 Anton Shterenlikht 2014-11-13 09:10:34 UTC 
yes, this is a regression.
The last good version is 1.9.3.547_3,1:

http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/log/ruby-1.9.3.547_3,1.log

The first bad version is  2.0.0.576_1,1:

http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/log/ruby-2.0.0.576_1,1.log

So lang/ruby19 does build, but lang/ruby20 does not.

Anyway, I don't need ruby as such, it is pulled in
by sysutils/libchk. Perhaps libchk can be directed
to use ruby19 on ia64. I don't know how to do this.
Can you help?
Comment 4 Anton Shterenlikht 2014-11-13 09:41:48 UTC 
and even ruby19 fails some tests:

Comment 5 Michael Moll freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-11-15 16:41:11 UTC 
Unfortunately ia64 is dead and I guess nobody of ruby@ does have the hardware and knowledge to fix this. Also Ruby 1.9 is not in our portstree anymore as it's not supported by upstream now.

If the lang/ruby2* ports don't build/work on ia64, I agree the only thing we can do is marking them BROKEN.

Anton, what's the current status here?
Comment 6 Anton Shterenlikht 2015-11-16 09:12:43 UTC 
I've one ia64 box left.
Really all I need from it is subversion.
The box is used as a backup access server to
a disk array.

I've given up on ruby so BROKEN is fine.
