OSCAR 1.3.1 on ARM Chromebook

[mjphyi]

I just tried installing thi son an arm64 Chromebook, and the installation failed.

the system says

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
oscar: Depends: libdouble-conversion 1 but it is not intallable

The currect version of Debian Linux for ChromeOS or crostini is Bullseye, which happened about 3 weeks before the realease of oscar 1.3.1

Presumably this version was test installed on both buster and bullseye and on amd64 and arm64.

Not a dev, but the Chromebook ARM release says Debian 10.

Since the Debian release has separate packages for 10 and 11, I would assume the Chromebook releases is only for 10.

That's not so helpful for anybody following the instructions, which for some reason advise updating to the latest version of chrome OS.
And if you do that, and then enable Linux under Chrome OS, you get bullseye, version 11. So one presumes the actual devs thought that building a version of 1.3.1 for amd64 was worth doing twice, one for buster and one for bullseye, but either forgot to do this for arm64, or perhaps thought it didn't matter.

Either was, that seems to have been bad news for arm64 Chromebook users.

My Chromebook is an Intel CPU, and it has v 98, and when I cat /etc/debian_version I get 10.11 which is Buster..
None of us devs has an Arm64 Chromebook, so we build on a Raspberry Pi running Debian. I deliberately left it on Buster because that was what my Chromebook uses.

mjphyi - Do you have any version of libdouble-conversion? Most likely, it will be libdouble-conversion3. It's the latest version.

In a terminal, try this command to see if you have any version. dpkg -l | grep -i libdouble-conversion

If so, you may need to create a symlink to it using libdouble-conversion1 as the link name.

I haven't any Chromebook. I juste do with a Raspberry pi with Debian.
Actually, mine is with Debian 11.2 and dpkg -l | grep -i libdouble-conversion says libdouble-conversion3
The build script shell takes the version of libdouble-conversion what is installed on the computer what makes the build.
So maybe the solution for arm is I can a deb build with libdouble-conversion3 & Phil build the one with libdouble-conversion1.
The final user has just choose the right version depending on his version.
Say to me if it's ok for you & if so, what build is needed (no of commit).
I have checked something : On the 1.3.5 alpha The deb file which is in my dropbox, it says Debian10 arm but the link is with libdouble-conversion3 --> It was probably with Debian 11. --> I'll check what later.

[untoutseul05]

You can have the depends of a deb file with dpkg -I (capital i)

[untoutseul05]

I have modified a file with says the wrong version of Debian (it is not in the file of OSCAR).
Now the build script says :
Debian11 arm --> libdouble-conversion3
Debian10 arm --> libdouble-conversion1

PS : I don't things making a soft link is a good idea. It's OS file.

It's been a while but I recall lots of libraries using links like that in the past.

[untoutseul05]

You can do it if you want a link without the version in the name.
python for example is like what.

In what case, the build is false. It have been built with another packet (names are different).
It's not 2 versions of the same paquet (same name).
