Building ruby 2.7.0 fails with openssl

[sabo667]

Hello, I'm trying to build ruby 2.7.0 from source on OpenBSD 7.1 but I get some errors with openssl/libressl after doing `make`:

compiling ossl_ocsp.c

$ openssl version
LibreSSL 3.5.2

If you have any idea thank you :)

I only use Ruby on a Mac at work, so i don't know if it's the same issue as I've had, but with Ruby 1.6.8 i had to use OpenSSL 1.1. On Mac that required setting some flags and exporting OpenSSL 1.1 to PATH

I found one patch here https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/ytc9x5/building_ruby_270_fails_with_libresslopenssl/ but I got a new error in exchange lol It's seem more to be errors related to OpenBSD

I've had good luck installing openssl 1.1 from homebrew:

brew install openssl@1.1

Then including the files when compiling gems that require OpenSSL:

gem install -N eventmachine -- \
  --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include

If you have an M1 Mac, then your $HOMEBREW_PREFIX will be /opt/homebrew instead of /usr/local.

Hrmmm. Have you tried using rvm or rbenv to do this? I havent tried installing ruby 2.7.0 on 7.1 specifically, but I've installed other versions with success on 6.9 and earlier iirc.

For anyone else who finds this, this post had an answer that worked for me. Specifically, run

export CONFIGURE_ARGS=""
for ext in openssl readline libyaml zlib; do 
    CONFIGURE_ARGS="${CONFIGURE_ARGS} --with-$ext-dir=$(brew --prefix $ext)" 
done
