Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension (Ruby 2.7.4)

[nyoung-mdsol]

I am facing this issue still and I have followed all of the advice listed under: https://github.com/rubyjs/mini_racer#troubleshooting and in this issue: #250 to no avail.

Here are the versions I am using:

• OS: macOS Monterey ver. 12.5 (M1 Pro)
• Ruby version 2.7.4 (managed by asdf)
• RubyGems 3.4.10
• Bundler 2.4.10
• Gcc clang version 14
• Miniracer version 0.6.3

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/nyoung/.asdf/installs/ruby/2.7.4/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/mini_racer-0.6.3 for inspection.

I have also tried targeting different platforms such as arm64-darwin with Bundler and that doesn't seem to have any effect.

Might be a similar problem to #251

Ruby 2.7.4 is technically EOL since March, but it should still work. I don't have access currently to an arm Mac on Monterey to investigate this further :(

Can you try again with 0.6.4, @nyoung-mdsol? I don't have macOS 12.5 around. 12.6.6 in a VM worked as expected for me.

PS: 2.7.4 is EOL, but there has been a last 2.7 release in March. So maybe you can check out Ruby 2.7.8?

In linux I fix that with
bundle update mini_racer
which updated the libv8-node
from:

 libv8-node (16.10.0.0-x86_64-darwin)
  libv8-node (16.10.0.0-x86_64-linux)

to:

  libv8-node (16.19.0.1-x86_64-darwin)
  libv8-node (16.19.0.1-x86_64-linux)
