Unable to compile Ruby 2.5.1 on Solaris 10 SPARC

Am trying to compile Ruby 2.5.1 on Solaris 10 SPARC where am ended with the below error. Not sure why am getting Undefined symbol for socket.

Can anyone help on this please?

Solution

  • Looks like a bug in the source code. parse_numeric_port() is only defined if GETADDRINFO_EMU isn't defined, but the code uses parse_numeric_port() if GETADDRINFO_EMU is defined or not (note my comments added to the code):

    #ifndef GETADDRINFO_EMU
struct getaddrinfo_arg
{
    const char *node;
    const char *service;
    const struct addrinfo *hints;
    struct addrinfo **res;
};

#ifdef HAVE_INET_PTON
static int
parse_numeric_port(const char *service, int *portp)
{
    unsigned long u;

    if (!service) {
        *portp = 0;
        return 1;
    }

    if (strspn(service, "0123456789") != strlen(service))
        return 0;

    errno = 0;
    u = STRTOUL(service, NULL, 10);
    if (errno)
        return 0;

    if (0x10000 <= u)
        return 0;

    *portp = (int)u;

    return 1;
}
#endif

static void *
nogvl_getaddrinfo(void *arg)
{
    int ret;
    struct getaddrinfo_arg *ptr = arg;
    ret = getaddrinfo(ptr->node, ptr->service, ptr->hints, ptr->res);
#ifdef __linux__
    /* On Linux (mainly Ubuntu 13.04) /etc/nsswitch.conf has mdns4 and
     * it cause getaddrinfo to return EAI_SYSTEM/ENOENT. [ruby-list:49420]
     */
    if (ret == EAI_SYSTEM && errno == ENOENT)
    ret = EAI_NONAME;
#endif
    return (void *)(VALUE)ret;
}
#endif  // *** This closes #ifndef GETADDRINFO_EMU ***

static int
numeric_getaddrinfo(const char *node, const char *service,
        const struct addrinfo *hints,
        struct addrinfo **res)
{
#ifdef HAVE_INET_PTON
# if defined __MINGW64__
#   define inet_pton(f,s,d)        rb_w32_inet_pton(f,s,d)
# endif

    int port;

    // *** But this uses parse_numeric_port() even if it wasn't defined ***
    if (node && parse_numeric_port(service, &port)) {
    static const struct {
        int socktype;

    You can either find a way to NOT have GETADDRINFO_EMU defined when you build, or you can file a bug report and wait for a fix.
