React JS works Fine on the same platform

The workspace still builds with node 18.

Afaik arm64 on windows is only support from Node19 onwards.

[JoostK]

@ssdeepak for clarity, is this about building an Angular app, or building this repo? I think it's the former as you're referring to ng serve, but wanting to make sure.

[JeanMeche]

oh you're right @JoostK, this is no the repo build but an app build.

lmdb is a native dependency, that looks like isn't supported yet on win-arm64 platforms. Sending over to the CLI repo.

I have reported an issue to the upstream repository: https://github.com/kriszyp/lmdb-js/issues/295

[sykum]

same here it's annoing to stuck on angular 17 😢

[alan-agius4]

This should no longer error when using Angular CLI version 18.1.

[sykum]

Thank you very much for the info and I look forward to testing it and will give feedback.

Why not add lmdb as an optional dependency instead since it actually is from 18.1 @alan-agius4 ? My project now fails pnpm install on windows arm64, and I worked around this by adding:

  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "@angular/build>lmdb": "-"
    }
  },
  "optionalDependencies": {
    "lmdb": "3.1.3"
  }

If lmdb was added via optionalDependencies in @angular/build then pnpm install would work without workarounds, and just drop install and show your runtime warning on unsupported platforms...
