Subject: Can't build installer on aarch64 / v86d fails to build on aarch64
Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 22:01:29 -0400

I tried building the installer on my aarch64 computer, but it fails to
build v86d, as shown below.

This package v86d is used in the installer's uvesafb-shepherd-service
service, which is supposed to not be used on aarch64 (the 'start' action
of the service limits use to Intel-compatible systems).

I just hit this one too. It’s been discussed previously[0]; as you note,
the problem is that v86d is built even though it’s not used on aarch64.
The patch in [1] works when compiling natively, not sure about cross
compiling.

I tried unsuccessfully to get the solution with let-system[2] to work,
maybe someone better versed in gexps can help?

This one is done with https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55806. I suggest closing it as resolved.

Indeed.  With 55806, the uvesafb is added if (supported-package? v86d
system), avoiding the need to check the system.  I’m Closing by sending
a mail to 48393-done <at> debbugs.gnu.org.

Thank you!
