Arch Linux User Repository

Here's the fix. You need to download an manually patch ruby-stud package, build and install it.

https://github.com/jordansissel/ruby-stud/pull/33/commits/f0b8e6feb44fdeefbb936fee37d5ecb798d3b177

Then everything else can build just fine. Why are we depending on 13 year old broken code to do a build?

Again, not related to this package. makepkg does use bash by default, so that's not an issue. The issue with a specific ruby package that's broken, which is a dependency of a package required on aarch64: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=signal-desktop-beta#n56

That's not related to this package, report the issue to ruby-stud.

I'm on aarch64 / arm64. Last version I was able to build successfully was 7.41.0beta1-1. Since then it's constantly failing to build fpm due to being unable to build it's ruby-stud dependency.

It has something to do with fpm as it seems. Seems like the USE_SYSTEM_FPM env var is ignored or something similar. To be honest I have no idea.

Thanks for changing it back!

mkurz, it should build without that (and it works for x64), no idea why it's not working on ARM, but I will change to the old behavior then.

Even with

npm run generate

it does not work:

However, when in addition changing back to

-  USE_SYSTEM_FPM=$([ $(uname -m) == "aarch64" ] && echo true || echo false) bash -c 'npm run build'
+  USE_SYSTEM_FPM=$([ $(uname -m) == "aarch64" ] && echo true || echo false) bash -c 'npm run build:esbuild:prod && npm run build:release -- --linux dir'

like it was before, it works again...

@Edu4rdSHL Why did you drop '...:esbuild:prod && npm run build:release -- --linux dir'? Thanks!

Does not work for me anymore:

The ruby-stud aur was last updated in August 2020. According to my pacman.log I installed it on 2022-09-02. It's possible that meanwhile things changed so that I would also not be able to install it anymore... I guessy ou need to look in how to fix this yourself. Like does fpm really need it?
