How to build JRuby 1.7.13 on Raspberry Pi with rbenv/ruby-build?

问题

I am trying to install JRuby (preferably version 1.7.13) onto a Raspberry Pi. I have rbenv/ruby-build installed. When I try to install JRuby (both 1.7.13 or 1.7.11), I get the following error:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ rbenv install jruby-1.7.13
Downloading jruby-bin-1.7.13.tar.gz...

Is it possible to build JFFI for Linux on ARM and how would should I go about doing that?

回答1:

I believe the answer is to compile JFFI on the Raspberry Pi and copy the generated libjffi-1.2.so to /usr/lib. When I now try to install JRuby 1.7.13 using rbenv, I no longer get the missing FFI error but "Cannot allocate memory" errors.

The procedure I followed to compile libjffi was;

cd ~
pi@raspberrypi:~$ git clone git://github.com/jnr/jffi.git jffi.git
cd jffi.git
ant jar
sudo cp libjffi-1.2.so /usr/lib
