This approach is simpler than the previous approach which tries to emulate realpath(3). It also performs much better on both Linux and OpenBSD on the included benchmarks. By using realpath(3), we can better integrate with system security features such as OpenBSD's unveil(2) system call. This does not use realpath(3) on Windows even if it exists, as the approach for checking for absolute paths does not work for drive letters. This can be fixed without too much difficultly, though until Windows defines realpath(3), there is no need to do so. For File.realdirpath, where the last element of the path is not required to exist, fallback to the previous approach, as realpath(3) on most operating systems requires the whole path be valid (per POSIX), and the operating systems where this isn't true either plan to conform to POSIX or may change to conform to POSIX in the future. glibc realpath(3) does not handle /path/to/file.rb/../other_file.rb paths, returning ENOTDIR in that case. Fallback to the previous code if realpath(3) returns ENOTDIR. glibc doesn't like realpath(3) usage for paths like /dev/fd/5, returning ENOENT even though the path may appear to exist in the filesystem. If ENOENT is returned and the path exists, then fall back to the default approach. |

What's Ruby
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, Haiku, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/contributing.rdoc#platform-maintainers
How to get Ruby
For a complete list of ways to install Ruby, including using third-party tools like rvm, see:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
Git
The mirror of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
There are some other branches under development. Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ git ls-remote https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
You may also want to use https://git.ruby-lang.org/ruby.git (actual master of Ruby source) if you are a committer.
Subversion
Stable branches for older Ruby versions can be checked out with the following command:
$ svn co https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_2_6/ ruby
Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ svn ls https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/

How to compile and install
-
If you want to use Microsoft Visual C++ to compile Ruby, read win32/README.win32 instead of this document.
-
If
./configure
does not exist or is older thanconfigure.ac
, runautoconf
to (re)generate configure. -
Run
./configure
, which will generateconfig.h
andMakefile
.Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your environment. Specify
optflags=..
andwarnflags=..
as necessary to override them. -
Edit
defines.h
if you need. Usually this step will not be needed. -
Remove comment mark(
#
) before the module names fromext/Setup
(or add module names if not present), if you want to link modules statically.If you don't want to compile non static extension modules (probably on architectures which do not allow dynamic loading), remove comment mark from the line "
#option nodynamic
" inext/Setup
.Usually this step will not be needed.
-
Run
make
.- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
ruby
binary. See also codesign(1).
- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
-
Optionally, run '
make check
' to check whether the compiled Ruby interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded
", your Ruby works as it should (hopefully). -
Optionally, run
make update-gems
andmake extract-gems
.If you want to install bundled gems, run
make update-gems
andmake extract-gems
before runningmake install
. -
Run '
make install
'.This command will create the following directories and install files into them.
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}

${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}

${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
If Ruby's API version is 'x.y.z', the
${MAJOR}
is 'x', the${MINOR}
is 'y', and the${TEENY}
is 'z'.NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of Ruby's program version
You may have to be a super user to install Ruby.
If you fail to compile Ruby, please send the detailed error report with the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
Some extension libraries may not get compiled because of lack of necessary
external libraries and/or headers, then you will need to run 'make distclean-ext
'
to remove old configuration after installing them in such case.
