[I posted this question to the RVM group a few days ago, but haven't heard back. I know MacRuby users don't tend to use it with RVM, but I'd like to make this work, since I have had trouble running "system" MacRuby commands like macgem -- they pick up environment variables set by RVM and end up doing things like installing/looking for gems in the wrong places.] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eric Christopherson <echristopherson@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 12:04 AM Subject: Installing MacRuby HEAD To: rubyversionmanager@googlegroups.com I'm new to this group (hi!). Yesterday I built MacRuby from HEAD, outside of RVM, and it worked fine. There was a small complication in that I have a 32-bit Mac, so I built it with rake archs=i386. Now I'm trying to do the same from within RVM. The first complication was that I had 'export rvm_make_flags="-j 3"' in my ~/.rvmrc. When building MacRuby, rake picks up rvm_make_flags, which causes it to error out because it doesn't recognize -j. So I commented that line out of .rvmrc. Next, I found that whatever I tried, RVM would not call rake with archs=i386, so it was targeting x86_64. I fixed this by editing ~/.rvm/scripts/functions/manage/macruby, changing 'rvm_ruby_make="rake"' to 'rvm_ruby_make="rake jobs=3 archs=i386"'. This seemed to build MacRuby just fine, but failed to install RubyGems afterward. Here is the output I get from rvm install macruby-head: <shell transcript> $ rvm install macruby-head Installing Ruby from source to: /Users/eric/.rvm/rubies/macruby-head, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)... macruby-head - #fetching HEAD is now at e994638 add Pointer#to_object which returns the pointer address as a true object, to use only in certain circumstances

So, I'd like to know: 1. What I need to do to get macruby-head installed; and 2. Whether it would be possible for RVM to be modified to allow .rvmrc to specify build settings separately for different implementations, so that e.g. it doesn't try to pass rvm_make_flags to rake as if it's make. It doesn't seem right to have to modify .rvmrc each time you compile something.
