Compiling on Raspbian - Illegal instruction #4540

DominikPalo · 2013-01-08T23:07:50Z

I tried to compile Node.JS v0.9.5 sources on Raspberry Pi (Raspbian 2012-12-16), but I got this error:

Node.JS v0.8.14 works fine.

bnoordhuis · 2013-01-09T15:25:12Z

That's probably due to the V8 upgrade. I see it's compiling with USE_EABI_HARDFLOAT=1 which is okay (I think). What is CAN_USE_VFP3_INSTRUCTIONS set to?

TooTallNate · 2013-01-09T17:41:57Z

Well I see -DCAN_USE_VFP3_INSTRUCTIONS in his compile flags so I'm guessing that's set to true. However, it must be set to false to work on the Raspberry Pi.

TooTallNate · 2013-01-10T22:27:26Z

This is fixed by v8 upstream in v8/v8@44419ad. @bnoordhuis should we back-port it to master branch?

bnoordhuis · 2013-01-10T23:19:54Z

Yes, sure.

TooTallNate · 2013-01-11T01:15:07Z

Should be fixed by 438e0c6.

Pitel · 2013-02-26T12:22:36Z

@Pitel Have you tried applying the patch?

Pitel · 2013-02-26T17:39:54Z

Yes, the patch from 438e0c6 seems to fix it.

bnoordhuis · 2013-02-26T17:44:47Z

Reapplied in cfacde3.

same issue... on 0.12.7 :(

bnoordhuis · 2015-08-04T10:52:23Z

Does io.js work for you? You can download armv6 binaries here: https://iojs.org/dist/v2.5.0/

fivdi · 2015-08-04T11:11:07Z

See also http://node-arm.herokuapp.com
There are a few patched versions of Node.js there that should work too.

ghost · 2015-08-04T11:38:41Z

Don't like binaries outside the official repos. It compiles OK at RPI2 model B but not at RPI1 model B. I will stick at RPI2 :).

Thank you very much!

Same issue on raspbian (Jessie) with node 0.12.7

cjihrig · 2017-01-20T16:50:52Z

Node 0.12 is end of life. Raspberry Pi is officially supported now. Please try with a recent version of Node. If you still have problems, please report them at https://github.com/nodejs/node, as this issue tracker is no longer used.
