rbx-2.5.0 won't build on FreeBSD 10

[rakaur]

FreeBSD 10 uses clang for the default system compiler. The first error was about no gcc, so I passed these options rvm install rbx-2.5.0 -- --cc clang --cxx clang++. After this it complained about not being able to find llvm-config, so I installed it from /usr/ports/devel/llvm35. You can either use pkg install devel/llvm35 or you can install it from the port directory mentioned above with make install distclean. There are other versions of llvm, but the complaint mentioned it only supports 3.0-3.5. Even after this it will continue to not find llvm-config because it's actually installed as /usr/local/bin/llvm-config35 so I created a symlink with sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/llvm-config35 /usr/local/bin/llvm-config.

Now that all of that is taken care of, the build still fails. I've been told this might be a problem with rbx itself, but the error that occurs can be found at this gist.

Thanks, and good luck.

As it turns out, gmake wasn't installed. I hate gmake. I don't know why rvm or rbx didn't complain about it not being installed, probably because they assume if make is present it must be gmake, but unless you're on Linux it's going to be BSD make or some other make on any other platform. Most Unix OSes are not GNU userlands, people! :)
