Unable to compile dependency libv8 after upgrading to XCode 7.3

[scott-knight]

After upgrading to Xcode 7.3 yesterday, libv8 gem version 3.16.14.13 will not compile. This is the error:

However, libv8 version 4.5.95.5 compiles just fine.

Try running gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.13' -- --with-system-v8
worked for me

This answer is the one that worked for me, found on stack-overflow

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install v8-315

brew unlink v8 # deviation from stack-overflow answer
brew link --force v8-315 # deviation from stack-overflow answer

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.13' -- --with-system-v8
bundle install

nice it looks like this solution let me get past the v8 install problem, does anyone know why Rubyracer would be expiring issues now after the successful v8 gem install?

Rubyracer error....

I've the same problem...

[jasonlafferty]

This might be strange but did work, assuming you have installed v8-315 and v8 installed via brew.

brew unlink v8
brew link --force v8-315
gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.2' -- --with-system-v8

You should be able to do this with out installing v8 and then unlinking and linking but I already had v8 installed. I have only tested with this version above.

This should be fixed now, new binary gems have been release thanks to @ignisf
