Hello! I have been trying to get signal on my pinephone without using anbox. I am really happy about postmarketos, it is incredibly snappy and the phone functionality works very well.
I have tried to build signal-cli on the pinephone with the latest stable postmarketos 21.06. Glibc is required within the rust modules to build, so I tried to install: sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc and changing the target of rust from musl to gnu.
I managed to get the libsignal-client and libzkgroup compiled and I followed the instructions to bundle the .so files back in signal-cli.
Unfortunately when I then tried to run the signal-cli I get:
Missing required native library dependency: libsignal-client.
I had a look through the signal-cli issues and saw that this can happen when compiled with an older version of glibc. Not sure how this happened has the glibc version installed with sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc seems recent, but clearly I am missing something here...
I now just tried to do the same build on the pinebook pro with Manjaro. Everything compiled fine, it has and uses glibc rather than musl. I tried the signal-cli and it worked.
I then, maybe ignorantly thought I could copy and paste my build signal-cli from my pinebook pro ( with manjaro ) to my pinephone with postmarketos. They are both aarch64 after all.
I tried to run the signal-cli and again I got: Missing required native library dependency: libsignal-client.
It makes me very sad, in my ignorance I tried what I could but I am a bit lost now.
Is there someone that could help me understand what I am doing wrong and help me?
Thanks in advance
