Docker Build Fails on ARM v7

[abuaboud]

Environment:

• Operating System: Linux/arm/v7
• Node.js Version: 18.7.1
• Package Version: 0.5.0

I'm using the node:18.17.1-bullseye image to create an image for different types of computers, including armv7, amd64, and arm64. To get the necessary stuff, I'm running apt update && apt install -y cmake libopenblas-dev patchelf.

This setup works well for arm64 and amd64 computers, but it's not working right for the armv7 computer. You can see the full error message here: GitHub Action Run.

Here's the error message for the armv7 computer:

#29 70.21 npm ERR! CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:51 (add_subdirectory):

I'm looking for ideas on how to make it work properly on the ARM/v7, Can you guide me where i should be looking at?

@abuaboud This is because the source code of the dependent faiss does not exist.

Will fix this issue by adding following line into install hook of package.json

git clone -b v1.7.4 --depth 1 https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss.git deps/faiss

As a temporary workaround, you can try to clone the faiss source code to the faiss-node directory before installing.

And you will also needs git pre-installed. See: https://github.com/ewfian/faiss-node/pull/45/commits/0fb2a78df548187bb4d4efdf521c00d049b423a5
