Compile error installing 1.3.0

[scarver2]

Version 1.2.0 installed fine with Homebrew's libsass keg. However, version 1.3 is throwing an error.

Here is the log output from gem_make.out after gem install sassc:

i think with the rake task set up the way it is, you need to be in the sassc-1.3.0 gem directory when you call rake, in order to init the submodule.

at the moment, libsass which is installed elsewhere on your machine will be ignored- the gem will always download the git repo and use that libsass version.

[scarver2]

I cleared out my gem repo inside of RVM.

git clone git@github.com:bolandrm/sassc-ruby.git
cd sassc-ruby
be rake libsass:compile
gem build sassc.gemspec
gem install ./sassc-1.3.0.gem

Still getting an installation error.

I'm having difficulty tracking this issue down. It's likely due to 1f4c9b9. @edward any thoughts?

Prior to that commit, i'm actually not sure how the submodule was being initialized ...

[bolandrm]

Ah, perhaps we don't even need that submodule initialization in the Rakefile, because the files are being included in the gemspec?

[bolandrm]

@scarver2 after the build fails, are you able to go into /Users/scarver2/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/sassc-1.3.0 and check what is in there? i.e. is the full libsass library in there?

[bolandrm]

@scarver2 I believe I've fixed this. Please try out version 1.5.0 and let me know if you have any further problems.

[phillmv]

Hey!

I saw your post on reddit for sassc-rails and immediately got excited. Except, I'm also seeing this compilation error.

fyi,

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-darwin13]

[phillmv]

Also worth noting that in ~/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/gems/sassc-1.5.0/ext/libsass, I do seem to have the full libsass repo checked out.

[bolandrm]

@phillmv Thanks for the report! I've released 1.5.1, can you please try installing that?

Yay! Thanks @bolandrm :D. I look forward to trying this out in sassc-rails!

Success! 1.5.1 installs and compiles without issue.

I remember spending a while trying to understand what Rubygems/the gemspec was doing. I believe you’re correct here.
