Hello! I’m developing a plugin to enable Sign-In with Ethereum on Discourse. The problem is that when installing the plugin I get an error with one of the dependencies (rbsecp256k1). ERROR: Error installing rbsecp256k1: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. current directory: /var/www/discourse/plugins/sdp/gems/2.7.5/gems/rbsecp256k1-5.1.0/ext/rbsecp256k1 /usr/local/bin/ruby -I /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.7.0 -r ./siteconf20220303-1234-gyqjb.rb extconf.rb extconf.rb:3:in `require': cannot load such file -- mini_portile2 (LoadError) from extconf.rb:3:in ` ' extconf failed, exit code 1 I wonder what might be happening since it works on development if I manually install the dependencies.

That gem has OS-level dependencies that you need to have installed, according to their documentation: GitHub - etscrivner/rbsecp256k1: Compiled Ruby wrapper around libsecp256k1 for secp256k1 ECDSA. · GitHub

Yeah, I have those installed already the problem happens when it can’t find mini_portile2, which is one of it’s dependency

How did you declare the mini_portile2 dependency on your plugin?

I’ve experienced the same issue installing the same gem dependency. Take a look [image] Having a hard time installing `eth` gem in a plugin in production Development I’m having to install the eth gem in a plugin but really having a hard time doing that. It depends on a bunch of other gems, a few of which have native extensions. Here’s the dependency list if you wanna give it a try. gem 'pkg-config', '1.4.7', require: false gem 'mkmfmf', '0.4', require: false gem 'keccak', '1.3.0', require: false gem 'zip', '2.0.2', require: false gem 'mini_portile2', '2.7.0', require: false gem 'rbsecp256k1', '5.1.0', require: false gem 'konstructor', '1.0.2', require: fals… I would love it if there was a more straightfwd solution.

plugin.rb main register_asset 'stylesheets/discourse-siwe.scss' %w[ ../lib/omniauth/strategies/siwe.rb ].each { |path| load File.expand_path(path, __FILE__) } gem 'pkg-config', '1.5.0', require: false gem 'forwardable', '1.3.3', require: false gem 'mkmfmf', '0.4', require: false gem 'keccak', '1.3.0', require: false gem 'zip', '2.0.2', require: false gem 'mini_portile2', '2.8.0', require: false gem 'rbsecp256k1', '6.0.0', require: false gem 'konstructor', '1.0.2', require: false gem 'ffi', '1.16.3', require: false gem 'ffi-compiler', '1.0.1', require: false gem 'scrypt', '3.0.7', require: false gem 'eth', '0.5.11', require: false gem 'siwe', '1.1.2', require: false class ::SiweAuthenticator < ::Auth::ManagedAuthenticator

[image] w4ll3: gem 'mini_portile2', '2.7.0', require: false Can’t you just drop that since it’s already in Discourse core? Gemfile.lock main logger highline (3.1.2) reline htmlentities (4.4.2) http_accept_language (2.1.1) i18n (1.14.8) concurrent-ruby (~> 1.0) image_optim (0.31.4) exifr (~> 1.2, >= 1.2.2) fspath (~> 3.0) image_size (>= 1.5, 1.3) progress (~> 3.0, >= 3.0.1) image_size (3.5.0) in_threads (1.6.0) inflection (1.0.0) io-console (0.8.2) irb (1.18.0) pp (>= 0.6.0) prism (>= 1.3.0) rdoc (>= 4.0.0)

I mean, I can but the problem is not with that gem the problem is with rbsecp256k1, when it tries to build it doesn’t find the mini_portile2 gem (As the error says: cannot load such file -- mini_portile2 (LoadError) from extconf.rb:3:in '

You are going over the same ground as @fzngagan , see his link above: Having a hard time installing `eth` gem in a plugin in production - #3 by fzngagan, perhaps you can contribute to his solution.

His solution works, but I don’t consider that a valid option, no user would be willing to do all of that just to add a plugin. I just wanted to know if someone could think of a better approach (the closest to just add the repo and you’re good to go). as @fzngagan himself said: I would love it if there was a more straightfwd solution.

And now we have two Topics on the exact same problem …
