Issue with Gem Installation

[KagemniKarimu]

Receive the following error...

ERROR: Error installing asciiart:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.

When I check the mkfile log I get the following:

assert_minimum_ruby_version!: checking for Ruby version >= 2.3.0... -------------------- yes

---

find_executable: checking for magick... -------------------- no

---

find_executable: checking for identify... -------------------- no

I installed ImageMagick with C libraries but retain the same error.

Hi @KagemniKarimu

Thanks for the bug report.
Can you provide....

1. asciiart version.
2. Ruby version.
3. Imagemagick version (convert -version).
4. OS & OS Version

[KagemniKarimu]

Ruby 3.1.0
asciiart Version 0.2.0
Imagemagick 7.1.0 Q16 HDRI-x64
RubyMine 2021.2.3
Windows 10 Home 21H1 19043.1466

Update FWIW I was able to get (aspects) of it working, so long as I didn't use bundler/make a Gemfile

Hi @KagemniKarimu

Thanks - FWIW I was able to re-create not being able to install using Ruby 3.1.0.
My specs were:

• Mac OS 11.6 (big sur).
• Ruby 3.1.0
• asciiart 0.2.0
• ImageMagick 7.1.0-22 Q16-HDRI x86_64 2022-01-29

My output is:

ERROR:  Error installing asciiart:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

However

I WAS able to install the gem in Ruby 3.0.0!
@KagemniKarimu - can you do me a favor and try to install this in Ruby 3.0?
I don't have a Windows machine - and I suspect this is a matter of me needing to bump my rmagick dependency.

Thanks!

Hi @KagemniKarimu

I have a branch that fixes installation problems in ruby 3.1.0 for me. (while not breaking 3.0 & 2.7).
If you get a moment can you try the following in Ruby 3.1.0?

1. Pull & checkout the update/fix-for-ruby3-1 branch.
2. (Using ruby 3.1.0) bundle install in the directory.
3. gem build asciiart.gemspec
4. gem install asciiart-0.3.0.gem

This SHOULD build for you. It built for me ....but like I said, I don't have a Windows machine to test on.

[KagemniKarimu]

I tried the new branch and it seemed to be working! Thank you!!!

[nodanaonlyzuul]

Hey Great!

I appreciate you taking the time to test.
I'm going to close this issue, and merge & deploy the new version later.

Thanks for the report.
