qt5-qtwebengine for aarch64 and armhf isn't in the binary repo

Created by: ollieparanoid

qt5-qtwebengine is the whole chromium browser, with a bit of QT glue. It takes hours to compile, even with a fast CPU. I've tried to compile it for x86_64, armhf and aarch64.

Status

• x86_64: compiled, and is available in the repo now (I did not test using it, that would be helpful)
• armhf failed at the very end when linking libQt5WebEngineCore

linking ..../lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.9.3
collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
compilation terminated
distcc[12345] ERROR: compile (null) on localhost failed

• aarch64: hangs forever (left it there for hours) on [327/237] LINK gn fairly early for some reason.

NOTE: I gave it 50 GB of SWAP just in case, so running out of memory shouldn't be the problem (and that would have gotten other output).

How to help

Try to compile it on your own PC for foreign arches. Especially for aarch64 it fails early for me, so it would be good to know if it's just me or not. If it's possible, trying to compile on a native device (e.g. @opendata26 with his Shield TV) would also be helpful (does it run through there?).

To build it, change arch="x86_64" back to arch="all" in aports/main/qt5-qtwebengine/APKBUILD, then run either:

• pmbootstrap build --arch=aarch64 qt5-qtwebengine
• pmbootstrap build --arch=armhf qt5-qtwebengine
