Bug 558742 – dev-lang/go-1.5 fails to build on ARM: unknown GOARM for armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Junker 2015-08-25 17:11:53 UTC]

Building on armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi fails with an unkown GOARM.


Looks like the ebuild's goarm() function misses the wildcard character in the case values. Should look more like this:

go_arm()
{
        case "${1:-${CHOST}}" in
                armv5*)  echo 5;;
                armv6*)  echo 6;;
                armv7*)  echo 7;;
                *)
                        die "unknown GOARM for ${1:-${CHOST}}"
                        ;;
        esac
}


Reproducible: Always

This should now be fixed. Please re-emerge go-1.5 and re-open this bug
if you still have issues.

Thanks for the report. :-)
