Thanks for reporting. I tried this locally and it looks like something is mangling the /tmp/ruby-build.20160502235511.12656/ruby-2.3.1/ext/digest/sha2/Makefile file. Line 39 doesn't look well formed. One of our developers actually just made a fix today that could potentially explain this. I'll give this a try on tomorrow's build and let you know if that resolves this issue.

[luismelodev]

If you install Brightbox's Ruby PPA package, and try to install some gems, you will get a bunch of other Makefile problems...

[simonbuchan]

@benhillis does that fix look like it could explain my bug #313 ?

[benhillis]

@simonbuchan Yes that's the bug I was referring to above. The fix for that issue has been checked in so I'll give this a try today and see if it's unblocked.

[benhillis]

@ddfznt It looks like the bug fix I mentioned resolved the rbenv install issue:

I have also come across this issue. Any idea when this fix will make it out into one of the preview builds? This is such exciting work. Looking forward to testing!

[benhillis]

@chathamws Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately we don't have a firm timeline, keep an eye out for our release notes - we'll be sure to call out the "large files" fix in them.

[hut8]

I've been trying to install gems using the BrightBox Ruby PPA. A bunch of the Makefiles do, indeed, have random syntax errors in them. It wasn't resolved in the build that I installed today, but I look forward to the next one :)

[ddfznt]

@benhillis @hut8 Still failing in last release (14342).

@benhillis, how to fix it on my Windows Build Insider 14342? I need it to install rbenv. Plase.

[ghost]

@ddfznt, any news?

[benhillis]

@ginolon - The fix for this issue did not make the 14342 build. It will be in a future Insider build.

[ghost]

Can you tell me what to ajdust by hand in my PC in the meantime?

[hut8]

@ginolon you can fix the Makefiles that are generated by hand, but then there are probably other errors caused by the same thing.

@but why all this errors on this Ubuntu version for windows? Why? isn't it a real Ubuntu?

[aseering]

It's a real Ubuntu except that it's not running a real Linux kernel. It's running directly on top of a modified Windows kernel, with some wrappers implementing and/or emulating the core low-level Linux system calls and other kernel functionality. So you can install any Ubuntu package and run any Ubuntu program, but when the program tries to run, if that program tries to (broadly speaking) call some low-level function that hasn't been implemented correctly yet, you'll get an error.

If you want real Ubuntu on top of a real Linux kernel on top of Windows, that's called a Virtual Machine. Lots of ways to do that today, and it works quite well. But it doesn't integrate as nicely with your Windows environment. That's the trade-off -- Windows and Linux represent a computer in slightly different ways from each other; so either you keep them a little bit separate (that's what a VM does), or you stitch them together extremely carefully (what this project aims to do).

[ghost]

@aseering, I love you.

Makefile:39 is creating problem also with "zlib".

[AbhimanyuAryan]

Is there a fix yet? I filled to install Rails with same problems 👎

[ddfznt]

Fixed on 14352! ❤️

[AbhimanyuAryan]

Failed to install even in 14352

[AbhimanyuAryan]

any idea @ddfznt?

[hut8]

It installed fine for me; it's just that the binary installation won't succeed because certain features that rvm requires for that part aren't implemented. Your paste looks like it was downloading from the source... did you let it finish?

[AbhimanyuAryan]

It worked finally I have received Windows Insider update today. On earlier built it didn't. Earlier I had some connectivity issue thanks for the support man :)

[AbhimanyuAryan]

Did you tried installing rails 5.0 @hut8?

[ddfznt]

@AbhimanyuAryan as mentioned here (rvm/rvm@691ccb9),
you need sudo ln -sf /proc/self/fd /dev/fd

[AbhimanyuAryan]

i couldn't get to copy the error message but please have a lot at the errors in screenshot. bundle install doesn't succeed. Any Idea what went wrong? @ddfznt @hut8

[ddfznt]

@AbhimanyuAryan This is due to the WSL permissions system.
Try running sudo chmod 1777 ~/.bundle and try again. (rubygems/bundler#4599 (comment))

[AbhimanyuAryan]

I still get those errors @ddfznt

[hut8]

@AbhimanyuAryan the fix is here #222 (comment) -- you've actually replied to that thread, so I'm not sure why there's confusion here.

This issue is about the Ruby build failing, and it's not failing for you anymore, and also the issue is closed, so for other bugs you encounter that actually have to do with WSL/Bash on Windows, you may want to actually file another issue.
