[senthilnayagam]

my environment
sw_vers -productVersion
Mac O 10.12.5

ruby -v
ruby 2.4.0p0 (2016-12-24 revision 57164) [x86_64-darwin16]

had compiler error on LDFLAGS when I downloaded rubyc from binary release. but after seeing your answer in #5 I cloned the repository and tried again

./bin/rubyc -v
0.2.0

I am still getting error with LDFLAGS

Hi @senthilnayagam Thanks for letting me know. Please re-run with the option --clean-tmpdir or just delete /var/folders/l4/f5_wfby913j97tfshf5ddvl80000gn/T/rubyc and it should work.

@pmq20 I can confirm that given the same issue, passing --clean-tmpdir solved it.

[senthilnayagam]

compilation has happened :)

./a.out --version
ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-darwin16]

[pmq20]

@senthilnayagam Congratulations! And that a.out is just a compact Ruby interpreter that you could toss around portably. If you need to compile with your project code into it, you need to pass more arguments to rubyc.

[pmq20]

@nbr Thanks for confirming this. I'll make enhancement so that this option could be made automatic.
