How do I install release build of sorbet?

I install sorbet according to their instructions on the GitHub README:

Install the dependencies

brew install bazel autoconf coreutils parallel Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet.git cd sorbet Build Sorbet

bazel build //main:sorbet --config=dbg

But when I run it, I got the following:

$ bazel-bin/main/sorbet -e "42 + 2"
👋 Hey there! Heads up that this is not a release build of sorbet.
Release builds are faster and more well-supported by the Sorbet team.
Check out the README to learn how to build Sorbet in release mode.
To forcibly silence this error, either pass --silence-dev-message,
or set SORBET_SILENCE_DEV_MESSAGE=1 in your shell environment.

No errors! Great job.

I want to install the release build because I want to use a well supported sorbet so I go to their GitHub README again and see this:

--config=release-mac and --config=release-linux Exact release configuration that we ship to our users.

So I run this:

bazel build //main:sorbet --config=dbg --config=release-mac

But it end up with this line:

FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully

I tried this too:

bazel build //main:sorbet --config=release-mac

But it end up with this line too:

FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully

What should I do to install a release build of Sorbet?

Solution

  • Readme file in Sorbet repo describes how to compile Sorbet, not how to install an existing release.

    To install existing release, follow guide at https://sorbet.org/docs/adopting

    If you insist on compiling release from sources on your own, in order to help you, we'll need more build log, as you didn't include messages that told what specifically went wrong.

    Now, using a crystall ball, I would guess that you're attempting to compile Sorbet on OS X Mojave that doesn't ship with system C++ headers and thus build fails to find math.h or stdio.h. Sorbet Readme contains instructions for how to install headers in the Readme: https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet#common-compilation-errors.
