Howdy,

I'm not DM..., but one difference is see is the lack of this line:
Loading configuration files from /opt/sbbs/ctrl
on your aarch64 version.
Do you have your SBBSCTRL environment variable set on that device?

Yup,

/opt/sbbs # echo $SBBSCTRL
/opt/sbbs/ctrl

These are built with the same docker build files, built the same way, just one was built on intel and the other on aarch64.

Howdy,

If what Gamgee suggested isn't the culprit, try adding the ".js" extension to see if it works then?

Yup, thanks, tried that too. Even tried full path, relative path and using strace, it just doesnt attempt to open binkit.js

Howdy,

JSexec v3.30a-Linux next-js/6a2a5eef1 - Execute Synchronet JavaScript Module Compiled Apr 14 2026 07:54 with GCC 15.2.0

I don't recommend you run this branch for now - there are still a lot of known and unknown issues.

Bummer, for what I want to use it for, its working really well, except cannot jsxexec on aarch64.

My workaround is run the intel images my mac, and its working fine. Just thought you'd want to know that aarch64 seems to be an issue.

There are a lot of issues, but for what its worth, there's a CI job that builds and runs the jsexec test suite (exec/tests/*) on an M4 Mac Mini and it appears to be currently working. That said, I'm not surprised at all that you're seeing issues with that branch at the moment, it's very early still.

Is that test suite darwin/aarch64?

I'm running alpine-linux/aarch64, which from memory, I only saw an intel runner for alpine. My alpine-linux/intel is working fine on my M1.

Could this be another issue with the set_personality() that deuce was working on originaly with linux/aarch64?

<shrug> It's a whole new set of problems with libmozjs-128 now, so could be just about anything.
