Packages, mldonkey & streamlit

[LoongUser77]

Hello, I'm new around.

I just bought a Loongson 3A6000 motherboard and I managed to install LoongArch on it with https://mirrors.wsyu.edu.cn/loongarch/archlinux/iso/2024.04.29/archlinux-livecd-loong64.iso . Latest version won't work so well.
It works quite well right now the computer, fast and soft.

uname -ra Linux loongson01 6.10.0-2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon, 19 Aug 2024 06:05:26 +0000 loongarch64 GNU/Linux
I have some errors when trying to install streamlit with pip or pipx
And mldonkey app won't compile.
Is this the place to ask for help?

I can paste screenshots are anything you need, like testing or debugging apps.

And mldonkey app won't compile.

Hi I have seen your post on MLdonkey ygrek/mldonkey#120 (comment)

I'm the AUR maintainer of mldonkey, mldonkey-git and the ocaml4 pkgbuilds

I don't have any Loongson hardware but you can grab the pkgbuilds and add loong64 to arch=() in the pkgbuilds and try to build them

[LoongUser77]

Oooh, thanks, I can try that, yes.

I will try right now

Hi again.
It does not work, it fails just installing ocaml4: (I tried first installing mldonkey-git, but it needs ocaml4 and more:

==> Making package: mldonkey 3.2.1-2 (Sun 01 Dec 2024 11:59:47 AM CET)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...

Ocaml4 error:

checking whether the assembler supports CFI directives... yes
configure: error: frame pointers not supported on this platform

Maybe I did it wrong? :

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ocaml4.git
cd ocaml4/
vim PKGBUILD (I changed arch() to loong64.
makepkg --source
makepkg -s

Thanks!

That's expected because they are AUR pkgbuilds

Ocaml4 error:

checking whether the assembler supports --debug-prefix-map... no
checking whether the assembler supports CFI directives... yes
configure: error: frame pointers not supported on this platform

The pkgbuild have --enable-frame-pointers in the ./configure line, change to --disable-frame-pointers and see how it goes, I don't know if this is needed by mldonkey or other packages though

[LoongUser77]

I tried with --disable-frame-pointers in PKGBUILD with no luck, this error looks worse:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: -z pack-relative-relocs ignored

[FabioLolix]

You can try to report upstream but don't seem there was interest 10/15 years ago

• Cannot build native compiler on mips64el-linux-gnu ocaml/ocaml#4849
• Linux MIPS(EL) build error ocaml/ocaml#4359

These are the only issues found searching for loongson there https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues?q=is%3Aissue+loongson

[LoongUser77]

I reported it, but I do not think they will do anything, I will have to use amule meanwhile.
