安装mysql2 gem的问题

Question

When I run bundle install in my project I get an error where it struggles to install mysql. It was wierd because the project worked fine until I cancelled the server to update my db record with rails and I got an rails error. When I ran bundle install alot of my gems were missing and now I'm trying to reinstall all the gems but it keeps failing at mysql2.

Error log: .rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.1/extensions/x86_64-darwin-18/2.6.0-static/mysql2-0.5.2/gem_make.out output:

"clang -o conftest -I/Users/cinta/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1/include/ruby-2.6.0/x86_64-darwin18 -I/Users/cinta/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1/include/ruby-2.6.0/ruby/backward -I/Users/cinta/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1/include/ruby-2.6.0 -I. -I/Users/cinta/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1/include  -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_DARWIN_C_SOURCE -D_DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT -D_REENTRANT    -O3 -Wno-error=shorten-64-to-32  -pipe conftest.c  -L. -L/Users/cinta/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include     -lruby.2.6-static -framework Security -framework Foundation -lpthread -ldl -lobjc   "

I'm using a macbook pro, OS Mojave 10.14.1

Ruby version '2.6.1'

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Somehow, after several tries typing this worked:

$ gem install mysql2 -- --srcdir=/usr/local/mysql/include

But then the server wouldn't run.

But typing from this answer , worked:

$ gem uninstall mysql2
$ gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby

Answer 2

Older solutions to install mysql2 set bundler config to have a --with-cppflags option, which is what clang is now complaining about not supporting.

It doesn't appear that option is needed anymore. I had the same error as you, and now the following worked for me.

bundle config --local build.mysql2 "--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
bundle install

Answer 3

The simple and fastest solution is

gem install mysql2 -v '0.5.2' -- --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
