Description Jannik Glückert 2021-06-10 18:43:33 UTC

fwupd has the meson option "plugin_msr", which defaults to true and is not set by the ebuild. This causes a configure error on non-x86

This is the excerpt from meson.build:

if cc.has_header('cpuid.h') and cc.has_header_symbol('cpuid.h', '__get_cpuid_count') and (host_cpu == 'x86' or host_cpu == 'x86_64')
  conf.set('HAVE_CPUID_H', '1')
else
  if get_option('plugin_msr')
    error('cpuid.h is required for -Dplugin_msr=true')
  endif
endif

As such, -Dplugin_msr should be disabled on any non-x86 platform

fwupd ebuilds have had a fix for this for quite a while, closing.
