Hi, when installing the .deb package for armv7l, on a raspberry PI 3 I got the following error: package architecture (armv7l) does not match system (armhf), Thank you

@e404r As mentioned we need more information to help you. What's the output of the command uname -a on your raspberry PI 3? From what I understand armv7l is the version of your processor architecture but that doesn't mean that your OS matches that version. Just a quick googling/wikipedia you can find this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#VFP):

armhf (ARM hard float) refers to the ARMv7 architecture including the additional VFP3-D16 floating-point hardware extension (and Thumb-2) above

You should create the .deb with --arch armhf (or using a config file) as specified in https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-installer-debian#optionsarch and make sure that the OS where you're building supports the architecture by running dpkg-architecture -L which is mentioned in the README. In fact, in my Ubuntu system, there's no such thing as armv7l architecture

thanks, I do not know why impacted sudo dpkg -i debfile.deb but sudo apt-get install 'debfile.deb' works for me

malept commented 5 years ago

It impacted installing the deb file because the deb file was created incorrectly. I suspect dpkg has stronger validations for some reason.

"main": "main.js", "scripts": { "start": "electron .", "build": "electron-packager . term --platform linux --arch armv7l --overwrite --out distrp/", "deb64": "electron-installer-debian --src distrp/term-linux-armv7l/ --dest distrp/installers/ --arch armv7l" },

Yes, it should be --arch armhf because Debian uses armhf, but Node uses armv7l.

"build": section not supported armhf.

"deb64": armhf working but after install app not opening , app in the windows and Linux-lite Works perfect but pi3b not working

Yes, because Electron Packager is not Debian specific, it uses Node-style arch names as that's what Electron itself uses in its download file names.

To be clear, you need to specify --arch=armv7l for electron-packager and --arch=armhf for electron-installer-debian.

If it doesn't run, it's not the fault of electron-installer-debian. You're probably running into an Electron bug.

e404r commented 5 years ago

all working perfectly wen i used electron js v1.7.0

malept commented 5 years ago

Yes, this is absolutely one of the Electron bugs I linked in my previous comment.
