how to install jmtpfs ?
#1
I got a new phone with android 10 and now my pinebook cannot see it when I plug in with usb cable.  I did a little searching and several pages mentions that I would need jmtpfs (https://github.com/JasonFerrara/jmtpfs).  I tried modifying the build file to add aarch64 and still cannot build for manjaro.  Not really sure what my next steps would be.  Is there a way to know what is holding up the package build? some dependency that also needs to be built for aarch64?

For anyone interested in what was going on with my phone: I could see the device in file explorer but not access any storage:

No storage media found. Make sure your device is unlocked and has MTP enabled in its USB connection settings.

you may need to try editing to PKGBUILD of libmtp (jmtpfs dependency) to include aarch64 https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=libmtp

I already have fuse and libmtp installed ( and these are the only dependencies I see).  Im getting an error from yay about config.guess not being able to tell what my cpu is.  I guess I can follow the instructions and alert the maintainer with the specs, but I figured there might be something I could do locally. 

If no one here has built jmtpfs, how are you guys plugging your Android 10+ phones into the pinebook?  I never had this issue before updating to Android 10 and 11.

added aarch64 to arch in the PKGBUILD and get this error:
