#67139 closed defect (fixed)

ncdu won't install on ARM platforms.

Reported by: mforbes (Michael McNeil Forbes) Owned by:
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.8.1
Keywords: Cc: lucaheise (Luca Heise)
Port: ncdu

Description (last modified by mforbes (Michael McNeil Forbes))

The useful ncdu port is very unhealthy...

​https://ports.macports.org/port/ncdu/details/

The failure is due to the unresolved #65333 where zig fails to build. While that is unresolved, is there any workaround? I asked for one in that thread, but none has been provided.

I don't see any tickets about ncdu.

Summary: ncdu won't build on ARM platforms. → ncdu won't install on ARM platforms.

comment:2 Changed 18 months ago by mforbes (Michael McNeil Forbes)

Apparently ​ncdu 2.2.1 still uses zig 0.9, so maybe we can ​install that? 

git clone --single-branch https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git  
# Make some coffee... this takes a while.
cd macports-ports
git checkout 6032b8aa0e865ddedc83b63bc662c7e5e091a909
cd sysutils/ncdu
port install

Can this be made the default version for ARM processors while this issue remains?

I came here exactly because I also wanted to install ncdu, but after following these steps it kept trying to install zig@0.10.1, failing as originally reported.
I went and tried to force install a previous version of zip by checking out commit d1f9eb2d73 and manuallly installing zig@0.9.1 but ​it failed with another error. Went with version zig@0.9.0 in commit ba629c6fc6a but it died with the same error. I‘m at a loss here.

Replying to antixsuperstar:

Did you try installing ncdu@2.2.1 from the revisions I listed above? That worked for me. I can't see exactly what the error you had is when you tried to install zig@0.9.0. You might need to paste main.log.

In 28f0f53d550f321b2da4fbd8c6c046d36306bc1b/macports-ports (master):

ncdu: update to 2.3

See #67139.

@maverickwoo Thanks! That seems to work nicely. Will this get automatically picked up by ​the tests? They currently still fail, but I assume that they just have not run yet. Also, I realize I have no idea how to close this ticket... maybe I don't have permission?
