Libreoffice fails to build on aarch64 (pinebook pro)

[anjandev]

System

• xuname:
  • Void 5.5.0_1 aarch64 Unknown notuptodate rFFF
• package:
  • libreoffice version=6.4.0.3

Expected behavior

running ./xbps-src pkg libreoffice on an aarch64 computer compiles libreoffice.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Try to compile libreoffice on an aarch64 computer. The libreoffice package doesnt support cross compilation.

[pullmoll]

You should update your system. The packages ffmpeg and thus libavcodec ar at version/revision 4.2.2_2 and the archive is there. I manually inspected aarch64-repodata and it actually has ffmpeg-4.2.2_2 in its index.plist.

[anjandev]

@pullmoll thanks. Now I get an error like:

I even tried adding libxml2-devel package to makedepends in the libreoffice template.

[sgn]

-I/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/usr/include looks incorrect to me.

This is a native build, it should be -I/usr/include instead.

[pullmoll]

@sgn Indeed. @anjandev Can you grep -r /usr/aarch64 /usr/lib/pkgconfig to see if any packages have cross build flags erroneously leaking into pkconfig files?

[anjandev]

grep -r /usr/aarch64 /usr/lib/pkgconfig returns nothing.

[sgn]

Did you run this command inside chroot?

[anjandev]

@sgn running inside a chroot also returns nothing.

[sgn]

It's postgresql.

$ /usr/bin/pg_config --cppflags
-D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/usr/include/libxml2

[anjandev]

@sgn thank you for investigating. I will rebuild on my pinebook pro and let you know if this issue has been fixed.

[sgn]

Does the updated postgresql fix this issue?

I don't have any strong enough arm64 device to build libre office.

I merely found about postgresql when cross-compile other package.

I got the following error:

I added libxml2-devel to try to fix this but it still returned the error above.

[pullmoll]

FWIW I ordered a Pinebook Pro laptop in march and expect to receive it in the not too far future. I hope I can then take care of issues with building Void packages on aarch64.

[sgn]

I'm working on cross-compiling LibreOffice, firebird is heavily patched,
working on LibreOffice itself now.
https://github.com/sgn/void-packages/tree/firebird3-cross-compile

Building on RPi3 and QEMU is too slow for me.

[sgn]

pkg_cv_LIBEXSLT_LIBS='-L/usr/aarch64-linux-musl/usr/lib -lexslt -lxslt -lxml2'
pkg_cv_LIBXSLT_LIBS='-L/usr/aarch64-linux-musl/usr/lib -lxslt -lxml2'
pkg_cv_XMLSEC_LIBS='-L/usr/aarch64-linux-musl/usr/lib -lxmlsec1-nss -lxmlsec1 -lltdl -lxslt -lxml2 -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lssl3 -lsmime3 -lnss3 -lnssutil3 -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4'

But this is about LDFLAGS not CFLAGS :/

[sgn]

@anjandev Please try to build again. I'm building in QEMU now,
depsite it's very slow, it's very positive.

[anjandev]

I do not run void on my pinebook pro anymore because I needed libreoffice. Someone else will have to confirm that this bug has gone away. Thanks for your work

[KeepBotting]

This doesn't appear to be resolved yet with version=7.0.1.2

Maybe someone can help me make sense of this error. I'd like to think the compilation was mostly completed. Took about 2 hours to get to this stage compiling on RK3399/Pinebook Pro.

[ericonr]

Can you check dmesg? You were probably OOM killed. You should try building with less jobs.

[KeepBotting]

Indeed, 6 makejobs turned out to be too many and the process was reaped by the OOM killer.

After ~12 hours(!) compilation using 3 makejobs, LibreOffice was successfully built & packaged.

Haven't tested extensively yet, but Writer and Draw both launch and are able to save documents. I think we're good to go! Many thanks.
