Pine64 ARM install issue

(1/3) > >>

slerch666:
Relative n00b to Linux, and trying to follow the Raspberry Pi guide for installing the ARM version of JRiver on a Pine64.

I am using the Debian, based on Jessie, build for the Pine.

Going through the steps in the guide, I skip all the Pi specific fun, add the repository, and run sudo apt-get update.

Here's what I see:

Failed to fetch http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/dists/wheezy/InRelease  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Any help to get beyond this point is appreciated.

Might also see if I can download the package manually in order to move forward with building it, but would love to get the update capability sorted.

Thanks!

The pi instructions assume that there is a native build available for your platform (because such a build exists for the pi), but there is no JRiver build for arm64, which is why it's failing.  It's not an unsurmountable issue, but you'll need to download manually to start, and will need to take some extra steps to get things working as the JRiver arm build is a 32-bit, armhf build.  Basically you need to make sure you download the arm build (not the amd64 build), and you'll need to enable multi-arch support.  Check out this thread where someone else got MC working on a Pine device:

Take especial note of the code snippets I posted in that thread about enabling multiarch support.

slerch666:
Perfect!

That seems to have done the trick for me as well.

Thought I did a good enough search for Pine, but got no results when I searched.

Thanks mwillems!

My pleasure.  I'd be curious to know what the JRMark is on that device.  I've posted a few JRMarks for various ARM boards in the main thread, and it would be neat to know how the Pine compares.

slerch666:
I'll fire it up tonight and see if I can get the JRMarks for you.

I ended up getting it to work, then I knocked it all over again to try again. I am debating buying another Pine to have another relatively inexpensive media streamer that's fun to tinker with in the bedroom, so I want to make sure I know the steps I used to get it working.

Will let you know.
