Compiling package for turris resulting in an incorrect architecture

Software SW help

Hello forum members,
bellow is an attempt to build a custom package containing jq (json parser):

cd
git clone https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/turris/turris-build.git
cd turris-build
mkdir omnia && cd omnia
../compile_pkgs prepare_tools -t omnia
make menuconfig
# select jq in Utilities section
# exit saving to .config

ls package/feeds/packages/jq
make package/jq/compile

ls bin/packages/*/packages/*.ipk
# transfer resulting file (jq_1.6-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk) to omnia and try to install

The build process finishes successfully but the attempt to install the package using opkg fails:

opkg install jq_1.6-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk 
Unknown package 'jq'.
Collected errors:
 * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for jq found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package jq.

The binary itself works fine but somehow the package metadata is incorrect. Can someone please advise what I am doing wrong?

Thank you,
jose

Just to be sure, are you installing it on Turris Omnia with Turris OS 4.0/5.0-future?

This is not cause but you should switch turris-build to appropriate branch/version depending on TOS version.

I am on TOS 3.11.2. Sadly, there is no dedicated branch for TOS 3.x. Does that mean I’d need to wait until TOS 4.0 stable rollout? Thanks.
