How to disable the config.log?

[chenrui333]

👋 while trying to upgrade mailcatcher to 0.9.0 release, I ran into the following failure

      The offending files are:
        libexec/gems/sqlite3-1.6.3/ext/sqlite3/tmp/arm64-apple-darwin20.6.0/ports/sqlite3/3.42.0/sqlite-autoconf-3420000/config.log

The file was generated from the sqlite3, I think. But I still got that generated even with the build options with as below:

==> gem install /Users/rui/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/0048667fe771138b86aacef26b55defc9144ff7d23d17027cbc83c99c3a0df67--sqlite3-1.6.3.gem --ignore-dependencies --no-document --install-dir /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mailcatcher/0.9.0/libexec -- --use-system-libraries --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/include --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/lib --with-cflags=-fdeclspec
Building native extensions with: '--use-system-libraries --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/include --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/lib --with-cflags=-fdeclspec'
This could take a while...
Successfully installed sqlite3-1.6.3

nb adding --platform=ruby does not help either.

Let me how I can proceed it. Thanks!

Can you help me understand why the presence of a file named config.log is an issue?

Please provide more context on the problem you're seeing. What command did you run, what is the full output, etc.

I also noticed that the arguments to your gem install command are strange to me. Why are you installing into homebrew directories? Why are you installing sqlite3 into the mailcatcher directory?

You may want to try to use a precompiled version of sqlite3, if your platform is supported, which would sitestep the compile-upon-installation process that's generating the config.log file.
