nodejs version greater than 0.10.x can not run on armv5

Postby Ryexander » Mon Feb 16, 2015 10:16 pm

Node of course uses V8. V8 dropped support for armv5 by removing it's no-vfpv2 port starting with v3.18
Nodejs switched from node v3.17 to v3.18 between 0.11.0. and 0.11.1 only the previous stable branx v0.10.x still uses V8 version below v3.18

The switch of nodejs versions yesterday from 0.10.36 to 0.12.0 means that armv5 support is gone. I don't even know how a build for 0.12.0 succeeded. as it is the binaries segfault.

currently I have fetched the old PKGBUILD for 0.10.36 from the gitrepo and will have to wait a few hours for it to build.

I don't know if the solution should be to split of a nodejs10 PKGBUILD or to just drop nodejs building for armv5. my preference would be the former.

Thanks for being an awesome community guy, I know your working hard.

But I will dig into it when I get a moment.

woha! do you mean to tell me that UNLIKE the main arch community you guys maintain a rollback archive that goes further back than the last 6 months?


thank you. thank you so much. I just killed my compilation and installed 0.10.36 in 40 seconds.

AFAIK rollback machine is courtesy of adminempire viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6544

Also theres rollback machine for Arch (x86) as well, (and it has a confusing for us name: ARM: Archlinux Rollback Machine)

Is it really an armv5-only problem? node also "core dumps" on my Raspberry PI which has an ARMv6 compatible processor...
