Compilation FAILS with Docker in LibreELEC

I've been making my LibreELEC 11 for RPI4 testing compilations using a Ubuntu VM in Windows.

Have also successfully compiled in Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi - takes hours .... but it compiles 😁

New test:

Inside LibreELEC.

Pulled an Ubuntu docker image into LibreELEC

prepared the compilation environment, created a specific user in the docker container (libreelec does not compile as root)

As usual, started compilation with:

PROJECT=RPi DEVICE=RPi4 ARCH=arm make image

But is stops with error:

crypto/aes/aesv8-armx.S:4: Error: unknown architecture `armv8-a+crypto'

Any suggestions to turn-around this ?

Thanks

works and is similar fast compared to native building

That's great !

Thanks' I will definitively try it.

Anyway it would be great to use the RPi I have with LE.

Afterall I have it turned on 24/7 and available most of the time.

I usually compile overnight (But I need to insert the SD with UBUNTU).

The ability to compile inside a docker container running inside LE itself would be fantastic.

Is there a way of solving the error I get in the container ?

crypto/aes/aesv8-armx.S:4: Error: unknown architecture `armv8-a+crypto'

Thank you very much

I've made some new tests with debian buster image in a docker container running within libreelec RPI.

followed instructions from libreelec github:

LibreELEC.tv/tools/docker at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv

Just enough OS for KODI. Contribute to LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv development by creating an account on GitHub.

but the same:

Error: unknown architecture `armv8-a+crypto'

It seems that libelec project forces:

FLOAT: hard

But docker container is running with software float.

Is it possible to force the compilation with FLOAT: soft ?

or any trick in "docker run" to allow FLOAT_hard within running containers ?

thanks
