Problem installing on Rpi with Ubuntu 20.04.01

Post by cyb0rg42 »

Hello,

I'm trying to install the Z-Wave server software on my Raspberry Pi4 running Ubuntu Server 20.04.1. The installation ends with:
Your Raspbian distribution is currently not supported by Z-Way
Please contact Z-Wave.Me support for more information
Supported Raspbian distributions are Stretch and Buster

The Z-Wave server software is compiled to a 32-bit platform. I'm running an 64-bit OS.
I got it fixed by enabling the armhf architecture and install the dependencies manually. Yes I known it's very ugly and not recommended.

apt -y install libxml2:armhf libwebsockets15:armhf libarchive-tools:armhf libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev:armhf libc-ares2:armhf sharutils:armhf

and:
dpkg-deb -x z-way-3.1.1_armhf.deb
dpkg-deb --control z-way-3.1.1_armhf.deb zwave/DEBIAN
sed -i -e 's/websockets8/websockets15/g' zwave/DEBIAN/control
dpkg -b zwave/ z-way-3.1.2_armhf.deb
sudo apt install z-way-3.1.2_armhf.deb
rm -rf zwave

Is there a 64-bit arm64 deb package available. I couldn't find one. And if not is the source code available? I'm happily want to compile to code myself.

Cheers,
Karl

We don't have an arm64 build yet. This is planned for future.

Hi,

When do you expect to release the 64-bit version? And it is possible to get the source code?

It is scheduled, but no date for now. Please wait until we do it. Meanwhile you can use 32 bits version.

Are you talking about Raspberry OS or Ubuntu for Pi?

I would suppose .deb from Raspbian should work on Ubuntu too

arm 64 is currently not supported due to issues with Google V8 used in Z-Way for JavaScript engine. We are working on switching to SpiderMonkey, but this will take a lot of time
