Ruby gem version_sorter on OS X 10.9

Question

I've tried to make update for Gitlab Installation guide for OS X (https://github.com/CiTroNaK/Installation-guide-for-GitLab-on-OS-X) for the newest version of Gitlab 6.7.

I use OS X 10.9 with xcode command lines tools and I ended with this error for version_sorter gem:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing version_sorter:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Unfortunately I do not have enough knowledge to fix it. Could someone help me please?

A recent XCode update broke quite a bit of native code compilation, try this:

Add ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future to whatever you were running above. It looks like the Gitlab instructions are installing it using the system Ruby, so try this:

sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future gem install version_sorter
