Compiling Ruby Enterprise Edition on Solaris 10
Posted by Sam
I wanted to try out Phusion's Ruby Enterprise Edition and hopefully Phusion's Passenger. From what I've read I know they are a pretty Linux centric pair of developers so I wasn't surprised at all that their Ruby Enterprise Edition installer didn't actually install on Solaris 10 despite using gnu tools. Fortunately, it was pretty easy to bypass their installer and compile it like I would with MRI. Here's a quick rundown of what I did to get it compiled.
Here's what I did to get Ruby Enterprise Edition compiled on Solaris 10. This assumes you are using gcc from Blastwave.
bash-3.00# wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/38084/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080507.tar.gz
bash-3.00# gtar xvf ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080507.tar.gz
bash-3.00# cd ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080507/source
bash-3.00# ./configure --with-openssl-dir=/opt/csw --with-readline-dir=/opt/csw \
--with-iconv-dir=/opt/csw --prefix=/opt/rubyenterprise
bash-3.00# make
bash-3.00# make install
That's all there is to it. I wish Phusion wasn't so Linux centric. I'm going to try and get mod_rails or passenger or whatever it's called this week compiled next, but I don't think it's going to go quite so easy.
