@Win8Error,

This package doesn't support people who have failed to read the wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg, or cannot interpret error messages.

aarch64 is not an officially supported architecture for this PKGBUILD, since I don't exactly test it on such architectures. It failing to work is therefore not very surprising.

I guess you can do any necessary followup in that upstream bug report, hopefully upstream can get it into a state of "working out of the box" so that makepkg --ignorearch works. But I'm not investing any of my own time in this...

Will confirm that adding aarch64 works great with the current PKGBUILD @eschwartz.

RPi4, especially the 8 GB model, makes for a pretty decent personal NAS.

This package requires "core/which" to support the dracut module check. @eschwartz can you add it, please?

zfs and zfs-utils are running here on Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) (aarch64) without any issues. To build it, just replace PKGBUILD line:

arch=("i686" "x86_64")

with

arch=("i686" "x86_64" "aarch64")

EDIT:

Normally segfaults using gcc occur either if the compiler has some weird bug, or if you don't have enough RAM. I didn't think it could be the RAM, because I had 64G installed in my system. After trying 6-7 times to brute-force it (if it throws an error just try compiling again), it finally succeeded in compiling. Turns out one stick of RAM was faulty. So I would advise you that upon receiving a similar error, you try brute-forcing it a couple of times and double-checking with a memtest, just for good measure. Shoutout to the #archlinux IRC for the help.

Problem:

Unfortunately, this package doesn't compile for me. In the directory zfs-utils/src/zfs-0.8.4/lib/libzpool, the compiler throws the following error:

/bin/sh: line 2: 68193 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=C

make[3]: *** [Makefile:1216: lstate.lo] Error 139

I'm currently on the 5.7.12-zen1-1 kernel. I've also tried with the 5.7.12-arch1-1 kernel, just for good measure, but even after re-cloning, the compiler still throws the same error.

Regarding the big picture, I'm trying to build the zfs-dkms package from the AUR, where zfs-utils is logically a dependency.

makepkg --ignorearch would allow it to be built on unsupported architectures. However, previous comments indicated that would not even work because of e.g. configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one.

Thank you for your contributions Eli. Submitted a PR on github to add armv7h to the supported arch, I have tested this on arch for raspberry pi 4 and have a clean compile. Light manual testing has shown no issues so far.

This is a necessary dependency to add zfs-dkms to arch on rpi 4. Note that other distros (Ubuntu aarch64) support zfs-utils.

I have not tested on a aarch64 kernel for the RPi4.
