Hello.

Is anyone able to build Electron from the 2026Q3 port tree?

I usually do it with Poudriere (running on a 15.1/amd64 box), but it
started failing in the checkusms stage:

SHA256 Checksum OK for electron/rust/crates/xxhash-rust-0.8.12.crate. SHA256 Checksum OK for electron/rust/crates/zerocopy-0.7.35.crate.

SHA256 Checksum OK for electron/evanw-esbuild-v0.28.1_GH0.tar.gz.

*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped making "checksum" in /usr/ports/devel/electron42

In fact distinfo has no entry for
"electron42-42.11.1-node-modules.tar.xz", but for "electron42-42.11.1-node-modules-arm64.tar.xz" and "electron/electron42-42.11.1-node-modules-x64.tar.xz".

Should some magic happen to rename those files?

bye & Thanks
av.

"Y", you need to run `gclient sync`

exit=1

I cherry-picked devel/esbuild from main and it seems to work
(though it will possibly take a couple of day to get to the finish
line).

I have made some changes to the port to always use the esbuild binary provided by the npm package registry to avoid such a discrepancy. It
has been committed to 2026Q3 branch at:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?h=2026Q3&id=fa692c5de51140a5f4bff0b6e6ab81dbcc23ed8e

Please try again and let me know if it solves the problem.

Cheers,

Hiroki

Sure I'll have to switch over to that branch first I am using main
currently.

Thanks.

Right now, unfortunately I can't.
I managed to build it for all the OS versions I use and it would take
about 3 days to build it again, almost blocking my server during that time
I'll keep this in mind and remove the esbuild upgrade I picked, when
I'll need to build it again for other reasons.



bye
av.

No problem. Please test it when you have available resources. Building electron multiple times takes too much time...


Cheers,

Hiroki

Looks like it works.
