    From Accession@VERT to All on Mon Nov 7 11:21:35 2016
    Hello All,

    I started the install instructions with a Pi3 and Archlinux ARMv7 32bit operating system. So far, I've come across two additional prerequisites that weren't listed on the wiki:

    1) patch - seems it is it's own package, and wasn't installed by default.
    2) python2 - When I installed the "python" package as per the prerequisites page, it gave me 3.x which didn't work.

    Once those were installed, compilation continued until this error message:

    jsapi.cpp: In function `JSIdArray* JS_Enumerate(JSContext*, JSObject*)': jsapi.cpp:3988:16: error: cannot convert `bool' to `JSIdArray*' in return
    return false;

    Hopefully it's an easy fix?

    To follow-up for everyone else's benefit:

    It appears Mozilla's JavaScript-C engine (SpiderMonkey) v1.8.5, the version used by Synchronet v3.16+, won't build with the default behavior of GNU C++ (the Linux compiler of choice) v6.2.1.

    This is fixed by adding the g++ command-line option to the libmozjs build: -std=gnu++98

    I'm trying to get this option into the 3rdp/build/GNUmakefile for Accession and his rPi running ArchLinuxARM. This is not a rPi or ARM specific problem (or solution), just so happens that's where it showed up first.
