#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 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

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
