Supported "linux-arm" not detected correctly (Error: Your current platform "linux" and architecture "arm" combination is not yet supported by the native Rollup build)

[JayFoxRox]

Rollup Version

4.13.2

Operating System (or Browser)

Docker 24.0.7: "node:21-alpine" on Linux armv7l

Node Version (if applicable)

v20.12.0/v21.7.1

Link To Reproduction

(Unable to provide reproduction, due to specific OS/architecture requirement and no code being necessary)

Expected Behaviour

I have a raspberry pi 4 running: Linux <...> 6.6.13-2-rpi #1 SMP Tue Jan 23 13:52:31 MST 2024 armv7l GNU/Linux (note armv7, not aarch64).
On it, I run Docker version 24.0.7, build afdd53b4e3.

I have a custom dockerfile to build my vite (vite 5.2.7) / TS project which does this:

RUN npm ci --legacy-peer-deps
RUN npm run build # in package.json: "build": "tsc && vite build",

I expect the build to work.

Actual Behaviour

The npm run build runs into this problem:

 > [ui  6/10] RUN npm run build:
2.147
2.147 > vite-project@0.0.0 build
2.147 > tsc && vite build

I've also repeated this with Docker base image node:21-alpine (Node.js v20.12.0), and it ran into the same issue.

---

I've also checked the code and nothing obvious sticks out as to why it doesn't use (or detect) the suggested linux-arm which is here:

rollup/native.js

Line 17 in b379a59

arm: { base: 'linux-arm-gnueabihf', musl: null },

I had previously also tried to use yarn 1.x instead of npm and the same issue occured.

---

Please let me know if this is a vite or rollup bug, and how I can assist in debugging this problem.
I'll probably try to use @rollup/wasm-node for now, but it's not ideal and shouldn't be necessary.

This is a duplicate of #5449.
The error happens because you're running on alpine that requires musl build. (The one it's null in that quoted code)

[JayFoxRox]

Thanks for the explanation.
I believe you meant to link #5194? I saw that issue but the error message was a different one.

Regardless of the underlying issue, I think the wording of the error message should be improved to include information about the libc if it's relevant.

---

Anyhow, I'll be switching to another debian base image instead of alpine anyway.

I'll close this issue.

Feel free to reopen / rename if you want to keep this as a reminder about the error message (which makes no mention of musl / glibc / ..)
