Latest ARM build

[er0k]

I noticed there is no official ARM build for v0.2.20 on the releases page 😢

Maybe it is an issue with the CD workflow?

[er0k]

I tried compiling myself on a Pi but I couldn't get it to build, using Raspbian buster:

$ uname -srm

$ rustc --version

    bump version to v0.2.20

$ cargo build --release

edit: I also tried on a newer Pi 3 and got a similar result:

Yep, I noticed that the build failed but I have no clue why. It might be that some library needs a bump. Not sure in what changelogs I've read it but someone mentioned that they had to bump libc to make it compile on ARM again. This is probably happening here :(

[er0k]

I used the workaround mentioned in rust-lang/rust#62896 (comment) and added the following to Cargo.toml

[profile.release]
codegen-units = 1

I'm new to rust and that thread is a bit over my head, but this seems to at least get past the previous error and it can now compile successfully on my Pi 3

[boisei0]

I don't know if this is relevant or will help, but I just succeeded in building 0.20.0 on ARM64 (aarch64). Sounds like an issue specific to the other ARM architectures. Here's my set up:

$ uname -srm 
Linux 5.3.0-1012-raspi2 aarch64
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.39.0 (4560ea788 2019-11-04)
$ cargo --version
cargo 1.39.0 (1c6ec66d5 2019-09-30)
$ git show --summary

    bump version to v0.2.20

Not a single error or warning appeared during compiling. Running on ubuntu server 19.10, arm64, on a Pi 4 4gb edition.

[er0k]

Looks like this was fixed upstream. I did rustup update to get the same version of rustc/cargo as @boisei0 and now I can build on ARMv7 without the workaround I mentioned above 🎉

[mainrs]

perfect. Glad that it works again!

[er0k]

@sirwindfield assuming this was the problem with the CD workflow not building the latest ARM binary for the releases page, if you kick off a new workflow now, it should fix that, right?

[mainrs]

I started the builds again but IIRC they will always checkout the commit that triggered them, meaning that a fix wouldn't be applied to them. However, in the case of the ARM builds this shouldn't be a problem.

What about ARM builds for 0.2.23?
