#RakuLang

I try to compile rakudo-2023.09 on:

Linux bananapi 6.1.11-sunxi #23.02.2 SMP Sat Feb 18 05:52:53 UTC 2023 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

and get errors during Configuration

can anybody help?

@Wrzlbrm

what happens if you try to run /usr/bin/perl ?

If that fails, then probably need to install perl first.

@lizmat thank you for your answer.
Perl is installed and all other requirements are installed on the Armbian distro. The Hardware is a Bananapi bpi m2 Berry, a bit exotic but working. I can send you the full output of the perl Configure.pl if you can give me an E-Mail address.

@Wrzlbrm

FWIW, I'm not that into config stuff and won't be of much help beyond what I suggested so far.

You might want to create a gist and post that on the #moarvm channel, or make an issue for in the MoarVM repo.

@Wrzlbrm it is a hard error from the dyncall dependency within MoarVM that your processor does not support a required instruction. It might be possible to build MoarVM without dyncall but I haven’t looked to see.
@Wrzlbrm if you can install libffi then you should be able to build MoarVM with it instead.
@Wrzlbrm in nqp/MoarVM, ./Configure.pl —has-libffi
@donaldh
Thank you very much for your help.
perl Configure.pl --backend=moar --gen-moar --moar-option='--has-libffi' was the solution.
libffi8 and libffi-dev was installed but not found by Configure.pl
