OpenBSD ports Crystal not building

[TheWanderer1983]

Hello all,

Not really specific to the package but I thought I would reach out given https://crystal-lang.org/install/on_openbsd/ page.

Currently the ports version is broken and needs repair. I've seen not initiative via the ports mailing list to fix it. Is there any kind soul who would like to fix this?

Regards
Dylan

I'll take a look

This should be resolved with #15122

Compiling in OpenBSD 7.6 still fails, gmake returns:

Probably open a new issue, this was specifically about indirect branch tracking

[ysbaddaden]

Yeah, that's a crystal path issue.

[TheMBL09898]

Could you guys hint me on how to fix that or the build commands you used to compile successfully on OpenBSD?... I know it's not the appropriate place, but I can't find any information anywhere else. Sorry

@TheMBL09898 It's probably best to ask in the support section on the Crystal forum: https://forum.crystal-lang.org/c/help-support/11 (or in a community chat channel). Please include repeatable steps (the exact commands you ran that ended up with that error message).

[ysbaddaden]

The crystal binary is probably a shell script that sets some environment vars then calls the actual crystal binary. Those env vars likely conflict with the ones declared by the Makefile and the compiler ends up loading the stdlib twice (from install then got clone) which conflicts.

You may copy the actual binary as .build/crystal then force a rebuild with gmake -B or adapt the shell script to only set the env vars when unset.

For further help please reach to the forum, thanks :)
