Element desktop fails to build on Apple M1 Macbook Air #19486

ghost · 2021-10-22T23:56:16Z

Steps to reproduce

I am strictly following the build steps on element-desktop README file
Run yarn install - succeeded
Run yarn run build:native --target aarch64-apple-darwin - Failed.
Shows error, build failed with error code 1, cannot continue

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expect the build of native modules will finish successfully

What happened instead?

When running the command yarn run build:native --target aarch64-apple-darwin it shows the following error

checking build system type... Invalid configuration `arm64-apple-darwin21.1.0': machine `arm64-apple' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub arm64-apple-darwin21.1.0 failed

Hmm it works for me. Are you running your terminal in Rosetta?

ghost · 2021-10-23T00:48:33Z

No, I am not

aaronraimist · 2021-10-23T00:50:42Z

Are your Xcode command line tools up to date?

xcode-select --install

ghost · 2021-10-23T00:54:59Z

Are your Xcode command line tools up to date?

xcode-select --install

Yes they are I am using Command Line Tool version 13.1.0.0.1.1633545042 which is the latest and there are no new updates available

Looks like it's going wrong when building sqlcipher as part of seshat, which for some reason is detecting your build system as arm64-apple-darwin when it (presumably) should be aarch64-apple-darwin. Quite why this would be, I'm not sure. If you want to try building the package manually, it'll be extracted to .hak/matrix-seshat/aarch64-apple-darwin/sqlcipher-4.3.0. It's possible this is a bug when building M1 natively on M1 (I don't think any of us have M1s so we've only ever cross-compiled). For a real moonshot, you could try just running yarn run build:native (the default will be to build for the native platform and there's an outside change that somehow the cross-compile target is confusing it).

ghost · 2021-10-26T04:48:58Z

Unfortunately even when I run build:native it is still the very same error ouput

dbkr · 2021-11-19T20:37:10Z

Now I have a machine I can try this with, I've tried and it works fine for me (although there's a different bug when using node 17: nodejs/node-gyp#2534) - does it work for you now?

ghost · 2021-11-19T20:38:55Z

OK I will try again when I have time and if it works this issue will be closed.

ghost · 2021-11-22T17:50:06Z

Unfortunately it still produces the very same eror message as in description. I am now on the latest master at commit 9746517

Here is a more detailed traceback:

Would you be able to upload the whole log? If there is anything there, chance are its buried somewhere in the pages above.

Would you be able to upload the whole log? If there is anything there, chance are its buried somewhere in the pages above.

I cannot even build it how am I even supposed to upload the log?

I am not quite clear what to upload :(

Again, I would like to emphasize that this is desktop app not web app

dbkr · 2021-12-01T17:32:04Z

The console log from the terminal you're typing in when you're trying to build element (ie. wherever your snippets above came from).

@dbkr Found the problem! It is the homebrew coreutils that is the culprit! especially the uname in that version of coreutils
I removed it and then Element built normally
