Attempting to install Clarinet on raspberry pi 3b

Question

I downloaded clarinet from here and am following the installation guide, however I get this error when installing on a raspberry pi:

failed to add native library/home/pi/clarity/clarinet/target/release/gn_out/obj/librusty_v8.a: file too small to be an archive

Does anyone know how to fix this/install clarinet on a raspberry pi?

it may just be that the download of librusty_v8.a failed, so try deleting the file, and rebuild, possibly from scratch with clean first and check your device is not out of disk space — Pascal Belloncle, Jul 07 '21 at 05:17
you need to provide more relevant details to help people answer your question (detailed OS/compiler environment, full command output) — Pascal Belloncle, Jul 07 '21 at 23:51

without knowing much about your environment, to build on arm, there are few things you should be aware of:

there is no musl support, clang is probably best (https://github.com/denoland/rusty_v8/issues/49, I know it says x86_64, but probably same issues on arm)
there is no prebuilt arm binaries (https://github.com/denoland/rusty_v8/releases/)

so you'll probably need to build rusty_v8 from source
