New hyper versions

[Crilum]

The latest version of Hyper is v3.2.3, so another build might be in order... I can build it if you give me instructions...

[Jai-JAP]

I'll add a workflow for that purpose...

[Crilum]

That would be great.. Then Pi-Apps can always have up-to-date debs.

Instructions are on https://github.com/vercel/hyper#contribute

You have to make some additional changes before starting build.

1- Remove snap block and the comma in line 42 in electron-builder.json

2- Also remove all lines with mentions of "x64", in the linux block.

For armv7l builds replace all "arm64" with "armv7l" in the linux block. And downgrade electron to ^17.0.0 in package.json electron >17.0.0 will not build on armv7l.

Cross compiling won't work. So u have to build arm64 on pios buster arm64 and armv7l on pios buster armhf.

[Jai-JAP]

Also Can you build the older hyper versions prior to v3.2.0 as i could not use my pi for the time being.

[Jai-JAP]

Also I added you collaborators. You can just release the builds per version with similar names as in the existing release

I can't build on Bullseye?

[Crilum]

I've been trying all day, I can't build Hyper... Latest problem is:

I am on Bullseye.. I wonder if that's a problem...

[Crilum]

So actually, I can build Hyper (yarn run dev), but can't package it (yarn run dist).. The above error is what I get running yarn run dist.

[Crilum]

Here's an armhf build: https://drive.protonmail.com/urls/KMN5HMRYEM#j2pBvOzNCY6R

It's not a deb, just the binary

[Jai-JAP]

Try deleting the node_modules folder and start from beginning

[Crilum]

I've tried like three times, but ok..

[Jai-JAP]

I've tried like three times, but ok..

Tried deleting node_nodules?

[Crilum]

Deleting the whole hyper dir and starting over..

[Jai-JAP]

Did this work for arm64

[Crilum]

I didn't try arm64.. I only usually use armhf.

[Jai-JAP]

Also try on buster maybe an issue

[Crilum]

Yeah.. Maybe I'll try that.

[Jai-JAP]

Try again after running npm install app-builder-lib in hyper folder

[Jai-JAP]

Also publish the build artifacts built on buster to maintain glibc compatibility

[Crilum]

Well, I've gotten farther, but it's packaging x86 stuff:

 electron-builder  version=22.14.13 os=5.15.32-v7l+

Oops I forgot an important step.. you have to install ruby and fpm Run:

sudo apt install ruby libarchive-tools -y
sudo gem install fpm --no-document
export USE_SYSTEM_FPM=true

and continue with yarn run dist

[Crilum]

Here's an armhf deb as well as an appimage. They're both built on Bullseye, so I guess I'll have to build more on Buster, but these ones work, at least on Bullseye...

[Jai-JAP]

Can u build arm64 hyper as well...? as official arm64 builds are broken

[Crilum]

Yeah, it will be later though...

[Crilum]

I'm building some on buster right now..

[Jai-JAP]

Yeah, it will be later though...

Build em on arm64 buster as well

Also can u build the previous versions of hyper prior to 3.2.0

[Crilum]

I don't think I can build all of the versions of hyper (seems more like a job for a GH Action), but I can build the latest..

[Jai-JAP]

Have you successfully built armhf and arm64 versions?

[Crilum]

I haven't continued building on buster, and I haven't yet build anything on arm64.. I can probably get it done today..

[Jai-JAP]

@Crilum i have got the GitHub actions workflow successfully running and now it will get new releases and build them automatically. Also the older versions 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 are built along with the latest version 3.2.3.

You can find the builds here
