Issue when trying to compile on raspbian buster

[VolkerSchlegel]

I got an Issue when trying to compile KomodoEdit on Raspbian Buster, see Steps to reproduce for the commands I used, see adittional Information for the error

Steps to Reproduce

run:

sudo apt install git zip unzip wget mercurial subversion autoconf2.13 \
    libgtk2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev yasm libasound2-dev \
    libpulse-dev libxt-dev autoconf2.13

(I had to add --fix-missing because it somehow first failed)

run:

git clone https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit.git --branch master --single-branch --depth 1
cd KomodoEdit/mozilla
python build.py configure --gcc gcc --gxx g++-4.9 -k 12.10

Last line should raise the error

Platform Information

Komodo Edit OS: Raspbian Buster Hadware: Raspberry Pi 3B+

Additional Information

Error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/github repos/KomodoEdit/mozilla $ python build.py configure --gcc gcc --gxx g++-4.9 -k 12.10
  File "build.py", line 156

ok, got it, I had to use python2 instead of python, but I still have an error:

@Kakiking I'm not sure if it's even possible to get it to work on arm. But if you really want to try.

This is the file throwing the error KomodoEdit//util/platinfo.py You could try to replace raise InternalError("unknown Linux architecture: '%s'" % arch) line 418 with self.arch = "armv7l" or self.arch = "x86"

[th3coop]

We haven't put any effort into getting Komodo building on Arm processors. @Laniture's suggesting seems like a good start but expect to more hacks to get this working!

[VolkerSchlegel]

Yeah, I already expected that something like this would happen, I'll try that when I'm at home(currently in vacation)

[VolkerSchlegel]

I forked the repo and pushed the changes to there, because I guess I'll have to make many changes :sweat_smile: https://github.com/Kakiking/KomodoEdit.git

ok error again, Something is missing :monocle_face:

@Kakiking looks like you need a Python install for Arm. We don't include that as we don't support Arm processors.

[VolkerSchlegel]

@th3coop python installl? I have python 2 and 3 installed if you mean that

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'prebuilt/python2.7/linux-armv7l.zip'

Did you look at the other files in that folder? They are prebuilt Python interpreters/installs. We do not ship a prebuilt Python for Arm. You will need to provide that yourself.

[VolkerSchlegel]

ok, I'll get a python 2 install and add it there and then try again :)
