[Gentoo][ARM64] Compile qtwebengine fail

Posted by on 2021/03/23 No comments

If CPU number is too much, compile qtwebengine will fail, seems ninja compile issues.

it better to reduce CPU number under 8, batter number is 4 or 6.

just put MAKEOPTS=”-j 4″ on your /etc/portage/make.conf

It can be roll back after compile qtwebengine.

modify package.env can support special MAKEOPTS command on some packages.
ex:

echo "dev-qt/qtwebengine lowcpu.conf" | sudo tee -a /etc/portage/package.env
mkdir -p /etc/portage/env
echo "MAKEOPTS=\"-j4\"" | sudo tee /etc/portage/env/lowcpu.conf

ARM64 mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 and unrecognized command line option

Posted by on 2020/03/20 No comments

又學到一個小知識

原因是因為 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 是 arm32 compiler option ARM64 使用 Linux ABI 那邊就規範要支援 Floatpoint 和 ASIMD(也就是 neon 的 64bit 版 )

不要用 -mfpu 指令就可以了

There is no regular ARM64 support for Linkerd2 now.

Linkerd2 version is master version between v2.6.0 and next version
emojivoto version is v9 (master version)
