jnnk, build the package in a clean chroot environment, that issue is likely cause by residual artifacts of previous failed builds.

Hey there. I'm getting the following error when trying to build this package. The package fails to build for the last 3 releases or so, every time I tried it fails on build:webpack:sticker-creator:

Any ideas what might go wrong/ I'm doing wrong?

Thanks @mkurz that works for me, though I used this simpler change for the folder name

-  cp -a release/linux-unpacked "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}"
+  cp -a release/linux-*unpacked "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}"

Below you can find the patch to make this package compatible with arm / aarch64. Just two fixes were necessary, I now can run signal-desktop-beta successfully now on my Macbook Pro M1 with Asahi Linux, using the upstream sources!

A guy from the Signal community fixed everything that was necessary to make Signal run on arm. Based on his comment https://github.com/dennisameling/Signal-Desktop/issues/1#issuecomment-1046097807 (also see the next comment below where he successfully provided a deb package) these are the things that needed to be changed:

  1. Make use of fpm that is provided by your system, otherwise yarn will use a fpm version that is not compatible with arm (it actually displays x86 somewhere even when using aarch64). We can easily fix that by depending on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fpm and tell yarn to use that one by setting the env var USE_SYSTEM_FPM=true. Details can be found in the comment I linked above and here: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/3901#issuecomment-499121694

  2. Depending on the architecture, when running arm, the release folder is called linux-arm64-unpacked, not linux-unpacked. I made a simple condition to fix that.

That is all, with this patch applied I was able to build and install on Asahi Linux, and Signal is working great!

Would be nice if you could apply my patch so we have "official" arm/aarch64 support for Signal. Thanks!

Here is the patch (as you can see it's no magic and fully backwards compatible for x86):

It's building again.

Edu4rdSHL commented on 2022-07-12 18:38 (UTC)

Currently, it isn't possible to build this version because https://github.com/signalapp/better-sqlite3/issues/6 too, so I can't debug that.

Despite updating Pacman, I received the build error below. Any suggestions on what to do?

presidentwolf for some reason I was not notified in my email about your comment and had to discover that by myself, to come here and see that you have already fixed the problem... I have added libxcrypt-compat as makedepend because apparently it's only needed to build the .deb (which we don't care about) and doesn't affect our final binary.
