Clarification on usage

[laurent-martin]

Hi,

I am user of Tebako.

It works well—especially on Linux, where the container version makes it easy to create a self-contained executable.

However, I couldn’t get it to work on Windows, and the macOS version that previously worked no longer does. So I’m evaluating ocran.

Use case:
I want to generate an executable for the gem aspera-cli, which provides a main script ascli.

I tried following the manual:

gem install aspera-cli
ocran $(which ascli)

…but it consistently fails to locate gem dependencies.

macOS error:

#<Thread:0x0000000121327e00 /opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/4.0.0/gems/ocran-1.4.3/lib/ocran/stub_builder.rb:203 run> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ruby/4.0.2/lib/ruby/4.0.0/find.rb:46:in 'block in Find.find': No such file or directory - /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ruby/4.0.2/lib/ruby/gems/4.0.0/gems/singleton-0.3.0 (Errno::ENOENT)

Gem.path on macOS:

$ ruby -e 'puts Gem.path'
/Users/laurent/.gem/ruby/4.0.0
/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/4.0.0
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ruby/4.0.2/lib/ruby/gems/4.0.0

Linux error:

#<Thread:0x00007faf038dfe28 /home/laurent/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.3.0/gems/ocran-1.4.3-x86_64-linux/lib/ocran/stub_builder.rb:203 run> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
/usr/share/ruby/find.rb:45:in `block in find': No such file or directory - /usr/share/gems/gems/fiddle-1.1.2 (Errno::ENOENT)

Gem.path on Linux:

$ ruby -e 'puts Gem.path'
/home/laurent/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.3.0
/usr/share/gems
/usr/local/share/gems

It seems that ocran is attempting to locate system gems (included with Ruby), which are located in other folder.

Question:
What the right way to fix that problem of system gems not found ?
And what's the recommended way ?

Thank you!

Hi Laurent

I'll look into it. Currenly not on my computer.
What you can do for more debugging info is add --verbose.

The tests work on Linux and Mac in the CI, but maybe the paths are different.... Linux and OSX support is new, but it works on my machine. I installed ruby with asdf.
How did you install ruby on Linux?
