commonmarker: Cannot bundle commonmarker due to cmake

Env:

Rails 5.1, Ruby 2.4.0, Commonmarker 0.16.0

When trying to install the gem via bundle after specifying it in my gemfile, I get this exception:

I’m on MacOS Sierra if it helps.

An error occurred while installing commonmarker (0.16.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install commonmarker -v '0.16.0'` succeeds before bundling.

Any thoughts on this? I’m needing this dependency for HTML pipeline for markdown parsing.

brew install cmake fixed it.

@gjtorikian Hi.
Yep I attempted many variants … bundle update, bundle install.
gem install make (which it did install … but it wouldn’t be found when I then did a bundle install or update).

I’m using the github pages gem which locks in various versions.
I attempted to slide back the github pages gem version but that didn’t yield any great progress.
I think this is still an issue.

I used the WindowInstaller for Ruby and also MSYS2; wondering if there is a windows path issue or something? Just guessing. But it looks a lot like the above issue, hence all this.

@doublewordplay I had the same issue after setting up WSL. For me, I realized it was probably b/c I didn’t have all the build tools available. I ended up grabbing build-essential which was able to resolve it for me:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
