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 `<main>'
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.

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
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.

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 <main>'
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 …

I’ve been narrowing it down, it doesn’t seem related to the gems, it seems to be related to extconf.rb. I tried with other few gems with a more complex setup (ruby-magic and libusb), both doesn’t work (for different reason) all they have in common are dependencies at extconf.rb.
