Rubinius fails to build on macOS in GitHub Actions

[eregon]

Additional questions:

• It seems llvm from Homebrew needs to be installed, is the system one not enough?
• Is llvm only needed at build time or also at runtime?

I would be unfortunate to need it at runtime because it's not installed by default in GitHub Actions and it takes ~1min35s to install via Homebrew.

BTW, https://book.rubinius.com/manuscript/getting_rubinius.html mentions llvm38 but that formula no longer exists.

A third try, also SEGV:

@eregon I fixed a bunch of stuff for memory headers and memory handles, I'll tag a release soon.

For LLVM, it's only a build-time dependency, but I'm only going to support the latest release (currently 9.0). If that isn't available, the build just won't have any LLVM-dependent features. I'll take me some time to clean up all the obsolete LLVM cruft, so thanks for pointing that out.

[brixen]

@eregon please try 4.14.

[eregon]

4.14 still segfaults:

This time it seems a SEGV from the GC.

[brixen]

@eregon hm, I fixed something there, too. I'm in the middle of a pretty big reorg of some internal data structures. I've switched CI to Travis, which is building. I'll ping you when I tag the next release.

[eregon]

I got a lucky build that succeeded: https://github.com/eregon/ruby-builder/runs/421811427
I didn't change anything since the last build though, so it just seems luck to not get the segfault.

[eregon]

OTOH it still segfaults at runtime for bundle install:
https://github.com/eregon/use-ruby-action/runs/421838829
Also on Ubuntu 16.04:
https://github.com/eregon/use-ruby-action/runs/421838746

[brixen]

@eregon you must use the version of Bundler that is installed by Rubinius.

You may have better success with 4.15.

[eregon]

Where is the bundle executable? It's not in install_prefix/bin/bundle like in other Ruby, so that's why the logic ends up installing Bundler (https://github.com/eregon/ruby-builder/runs/421811427).
I guess in install_prefix/gems/bin/bundle?
MRI 2.6+ ships a bin/bundle so it would be nice to match that.

[eregon]

It still segfaults with 4.14 on Ubuntu 16.04 with the bundled bundler:
https://github.com/eregon/ruby-builder/runs/422071201

[brixen]

@eregon not supporting anything older than 18.04. Bundler is pre-installed, so you'll need to point to it with your script. If you're curious https://github.com/rubygems/bundler/issues/6274.

[brixen]

@eregon please close this issue if 18.04 is working with pre-installed Bundler.
