Verification

My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.
I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

In ruby/prism#2716 we had a report that someone using ruby from Homebrew failed to build the Prism gem.
After investigation it became clear the problem is that the value of RbConfig::CONFIG["AR"] is incorrect in the bottles of the ruby 3.2 and 3.3 formulae.

What happened (include all command output)?

CC is fine, and this explains why most gems with native extensions install fine:

$ for v in 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3; do echo $v; /opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@$v/bin/ruby -e 'pp RbConfig::CONFIG["CC"]'; done       
3.0
"clang -fdeclspec"
3.1
"clang"
3.2
"clang"
3.3
"clang"

AR:

$ for v in 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3; do echo $v; /opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@$v/bin/ruby -e 'pp RbConfig::CONFIG["AR"]'; done       
3.0
"ar"
3.1
"ar"
3.2
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ar"
3.3
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ar"

But AR is this absolute path from Ruby 3.2, which can cause problems.
Notably, the path /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ar does not exist if XCode is not installed and only the Command Line Tools are installed.
This means any Ruby relying on RbConfig::CONFIG["AR"] is broken.

What did you expect to happen?

RbConfig::CONFIG["AR"] is valid and existing path for any Homebrew user, whether they have XCode installed or not.

This change might be partly caused by changes in CRuby upstream.
However, it seems clear Homebrew should ship a properly-built Ruby with correct paths.
See Homebrew/homebrew-portable-ruby#187 which seems a fairly similar issue but for homebrew-portable-ruby instead of the [email protected]/[email protected] formulae.
The fix can very likely be the same/similar.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running `brew` commands)

brew install [email protected]
/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin/ruby -e 'pp RbConfig::CONFIG["AR"]'

brew install [email protected]
/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin/ruby -e 'pp RbConfig::CONFIG["AR"]'

I copy here the whole RbConfig::CONFIG.
Note that NM is also incorrect and has the same problem ("NM"=>"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/nm --no-llvm-bc",).

My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.

I ticked this box even though the output says differently but I am absolutely certain that would change nothing, and the issue reproduces 100% regardless of that brew doctor output. It's an issue that is simply part of the prebuilt [email protected] and [email protected] bottles.

One more thought: this problem could likely also be solved if the bottle was built on a system which does not have XCode installed, because then CRuby wouldn't find those executables. Or maybe there are ways to tell CRuby which toolchain to use (the CLT is better if it's always guaranteed to be there for Homebrew) rather than letting it guess.

Bo98 · 2024-05-06T21:44:36Z

This is caused by ruby/ruby@038f9ad.

eregon · 2024-05-06T21:54:34Z

Indeed, I see:

bash-3.2$ cc -print-prog-name=ar
/Applications/Xcode_15.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ar
bash-3.2$ cc -print-prog-name=nm
/Applications/Xcode_15.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/nm
bash-3.2$ cc -print-prog-name=ld
/Applications/Xcode_15.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld

Interesting that LD above is not affected but AR and NM are.

Any idea how to fix this in Homebrew?
Maybe AR=ar NM=nm ./configure ... or so could work.

Maybe it should be changed in CRuby? But that wouldn't fix it for existing 3.2 and 3.3 releases.

cc @nobu since you did this change and might know more about it

Bo98 · 2024-05-06T21:56:59Z

This bug will likely affect all macOS Ruby builds (unless Xcode is missing) so definitely seems like an upstream fix is desirable here.

eregon · 2024-05-06T21:59:48Z

Agreed, although for the common case of compiling ruby from source on the same machine it's not an issue because then either no XCode and fine anyway, or XCode is installed and then those paths will most likely work fine (unless XCode is later uninstalled).

eregon · 2024-05-09T10:30:11Z

@Bo98 Could you file an issue at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ?

Also, since this basically only happens with Homebrew builds of CRuby (Homebrew is one of the very few to have binary builds of Ruby on macOS), it seems worth working around in parallel in Homebrew until it gets fixed & released in CRuby.

Bo98 · 2024-05-09T10:32:34Z

Likely affects MacPorts too - but I haven't checked for sure.

Can open an issue shortly, and maybe a pull request too if I find the time.

Upstream fix backported to Ruby 3.3.3: ruby/ruby@d3b1398

Bo98 · 2024-06-15T03:58:28Z

Should be fixed now after a brew upgrade ruby.

We will accept a PR to apply the patch to [email protected] (I may get around to it but probably not for a few days).

eregon · 2024-07-06T20:10:13Z

It's also merged to the 3.2 branch now: ruby/ruby@5141d72, so I think we can close this, it will be fixed with the next 3.2 release and Homebrew using the newer versions.
