error trying to install on raspberry PI 3

[wx4cb]

HI

trying to install the armhf package on a raspberry pi 3 running ubuntu mate. following this thread over on "discuss". I get the error below. Any thoughts?

root@GroundStation:~# dpkg -i  apm_planner_2.0.26_xenial_armhf.deb
dpkg: error processing archive apm_planner_2.0.26_xenial_armhf.deb (--install):
 package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apm_planner_2.0.26_xenial_armhf.deb

root@GroundStation:~# uname -a
Linux GroundStation 4.15.0-1032-raspi2 #34-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 6 11:46:23 UTC 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

@wx4cb The armhf package is build for ARM32 systems. You are using an ARM64 (aarch64) System.
Some Arm CPUs support both armhf and aarch64 - but your OS is an aarch64 one so it refuses to install the armhf package.

[wx4cb]

ok np. that's what i thought.it had something to do with that. if i install 32 bit support would it work then? or would i have to try and compile on the pi ?

@wx4cb Yes you could do that.... BUT as the package you are trying to install is REALLY old I would recommend to build the current master on the raspi for aarch64. I will take a while on that system but I think it is worth the effort as the current master has a lot of improvements and bug fixes compared to 2.0.26.

i tried comppiling it 3 times on the pi, but it keeps crashing the pi. i'm going to setup a cross compiler to do it when i get time

Hmm - perhaps you should try https://github.com/dockcross/dockcross. I have heard that it is easy to use - but never tried by myself. 😃

[wx4cb]

still no good. can't cross compile and can't compile on the pi. any other ideas anyone?

[dcarpy]

@wx4cb Create some swap space on the Pi before compiling. It is likely you are running out of memory.

[wx4cb]

@dcarpy i'll give that a try thnx.

ok that worked.

Now i have one more question. how do i make a binary package so that we can put it on a resources page so that everyone can get it that's trying to do the same thing.

[dcarpy]

Use debuild instead of make. You may have to install some additional packages.

[dcarpy]

Don't forget to close this issue before you are done. :-)

[wx4cb]

i tried that, but it appears there's an issue with a libqt5declarative5 package that i can't find in the latest ubuntu mate

I havent had chance to work on it lately. slammed with a major project at the local airport with work and have had a house move in the middle of it.
