"macgem build" fails.

[rob@…]

Hi,

The "macgem build" command seems to fail with an IOError:

Gem::Specification.new do |g|
  g.name = 'dummy'
  g.version = '1.0'
  g.authors = %w(Dummy)
  g.email = 'dummy@dummy.info'
  g.homepage = 'http://www.dummy.com'
  g.summary = "Dummy"
  g.description = "Dummy"
  
  g.files = Dir["."]

end

Thanks

I'm also having this problem in problem #640 with two example projects. This seems to be a more simple example. Feel free to close mine if duplicate, if that is the case.

The core problem is fixed, but macgem is still unable to generate correct .gem files because of an issue in our Zlib. Keeping the bug open meanwhile :-)

Replying to martinlagardette@…:

Is there a way around this problem? Can I build the gem with 1.9.2 and install with macgem?

Sure, it should work :-)

Odd, when I do that it fails like so:

unknown: warning: ignoring alias unknown: warning: ignoring alias ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)

undefined method `requirements' for nil:NilClass

Any idea what causes that?

What gem are you trying to install? I tried with the two gems you cited on your bug report:

$> cd /tmp/octopi && gem19 build octopi.gemspec 
WARNING:  RDoc will not be generated (has_rdoc == false)
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
    No such file or directory - README.rdoc

$> cd /tmp/garb/ && gem19 build garb.gemspec 
WARNING:  RDoc will not be generated (has_rdoc == false)

I just switched to the nightly, and the install works. The gems are tpitale-octopi and garb.

Thanks!
