Hey DM,

Curios to know your plans, if any, to update libmoz and/or enabling SBBS to be built on aarch64?

(While I'm not needing an update to libmoz, I'm thinking the current issue of building sbbs on aarch64 is failing because of the old libmoz, or some other old dependency?)

I just tried and get:

136.0 configure: error: "libffi has not been ported to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu."
136.0 configure: error: ./configure failed for ctypes/libffi

(This is using bullseye-slim as a base image.)

When I pulled in an existing libmoz from debian archives, it fails with:

make RELEASE=1 NO_X=1 SBBSDIR=/opt/sbbs JSINCLUDE=/usr/include/js JSLIB=mozjs185 install

...
340.9 In file included from ansiterm.cpp:22:

Howdy,

340.9 In file included from ansiterm.cpp:22:
340.9 sbbs.h:101:10: fatal error: jsversion.h: No such file or directory 340.9 101 | #include <jsversion.h>

Sorry, this one is easy - its because I didnt have the dev package installed. So trying a build now as I type.

Still curious though when aarch64 will be supported...

It's a huge change to SBBS to upgrade libmozjs, but it will happen. Sysops have built and run sbbs (and libmozjs) on aarch64 (e.g. for a 64-bit Linux on an rPi4) successfully, so it is possible to do it.

OK, keen to know who successfully runs an aarch64 build, and the instructions they used.

My build completed no problem, but soon as I start it, it core dumps.

Does this describe anything useful that is fixable?

Not to me, but others maybe.

There are some arm64 specific instructions added by others to https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:raspbian_install

Yup, I used those instructions, and it doesnt work for me.

Well, it compiles, but core dumps when you run sbbs root@582e62f72f8f:/opt/sbbs# sbbs

Are you using a distro-supplied build of libmozjs or building from source?

Hi,

Distro, as per the instructions on the wiki page: (from debian archives)

root@52159e86af1a:/opt/sbbs# apt list --installed|grep ffi libffi6/oldoldstable,now 3.2.1-6 arm64 [installed,automatic] libffi7/oldstable,now 3.3-6 arm64 [installed,automatic]

root@52159e86af1a:/opt/sbbs# apt list --installed|grep libmoz libmozjs185-1.0/oldoldstable,now 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-6 arm64 [installed] libmozjs185-dev/oldoldstable,now 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-6 arm64 [installed]

While the wiki page lists "stretch" as the debian image, I'm using bookworm as the base.
