Can't build Julia on Raspberry Pi zero locally on Raspbian buster

New to Julia

I try to build Julia on Raspberry Pi(with Raspbian buster) zero without using Docker, but fails.
For Julia v1.0.5, v1.1.1 and v1.2.0, I get error with the following message:

Especially I often see building procedure stops around message with respect to libgfortran something like:

/home/pi/build/julia/contrib/install.sh 755 /home/pi/build/julia/contrib/julia-config.jl /home/pi/build/julia/usr/share/julia/

Does anyone know to solve the problem?
Anything is appreciated.

Thank You.

That’s interesting! And sorry, I can’t help you, because I am as helpless as you are!

I’m trying to do something similar, namely run Julia on the nVIDIA Jetson Nano (here). I’m not the expert, but if I halfway understand the problem, it’s also about a Fortran lib. But the Julia base is running and I could already run some numerical analyses, but without graphics (because of my problem)! I hope you get a helpful answer! :+1:

Hi @Gunter_Faes Thank you for your cheering.

https://github.com/Julia-Embedded/jlcross/blob/master/jetson/multiarch/Dockerfile

will help to support problem. You can simulate Arch device on your host device.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll take a look! :grinning:

  • I will drop it to build julia for 1.2 since Julia Team has been released binary its version = 1.3
  • Building Julia works fine for version 1.3 and yesterdays master.
