[Request] Arch Linux ARM / aarch64 support #289

Closed d3-X-t3r closed 3 months ago

d3-X-t3r commented 3 months ago

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I felt it's easier to discuss here than on the AUR comments page.

I tried modifying the PKGBUILD to target aarch64 (to install on Arch ARM, in a Termux proot). The makepkg then fails with an error libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev|libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev is unavailable for your distro.

There is no libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev (or similar) in the ALARM repos. Instead, I found the arm64 version on the Debian Bookworm repos and installed the converted .deb using debtap.

However, when I run makepkg again, it still complains that libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev is unavailable. How do I check whether this really exists - or is there an easy way I can build this myself? I looked at the gitlab source for gdk-pixbuf, but there's no indication that I'd get the -dev package by building from there.

Alternatively, is there a way I can skip building all this and just manually copy the theme files over? Thanks!

This sounds like #253 - distid.sh tries to identify what package format to use, and dpkg is checked before pacman, so if you have dpkg installed, it will look for Debian/Ubuntu dependencies.

There is a workaround in that issue thread for the problem (edit distid.sh to always just echo archpkg to force Arch Linux detection).

Thanks @rozniak, that worked (sort of)! I also had to modify packaging/cmake-inc/packaging/CMakeLists.txt to add this line at line 32:

${CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR} STREQUAL "aarch64"

Also, regarding the distid.sh - a quick-fix would be to just check for pacman before dpkg, as it's more likely that an Arch user might have dpkg installed as opposed to a Debian user with pacman. :)

With these changes, and the PKGBUILD amended for aarch64, the package installed successfully.

Thanks for trying this out! I didn't know about the aarch64 name for Arch Linux, so I'll add that in - also needs adding in /base/bootvid/plymouth.cmake and /shared/winbrand/CMakeLists.txt for the 64-Bit Edition branding.

Believe it should be fixed in this repo now - previously only checked against armv8, added aarch64

Have also asked if AUR can be amended to add aarch64 to arch in the PKGBUILD as it is supported.
