https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757290 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757290#c0 Summary: building for ARM on x86-64 in chroot does not work. Classification: Internal Novell Products Product: openSUSE Build Service Version: 2.3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: osc AssignedTo: adrian@suse.com ReportedBy: aj@suse.com QAContact: adrian@suse.com Found By: Product Management Blocker: --- Following the advise on: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ARM_distribution_howto I build locally with: osc build --alternative-project=openSUSE:Factory:ARM standard armv7l glibc.spec This failed with: chroot: failed to run command `sh': Exec format error On IRC I got the advise to setup binfmt_misc properly, the code from https://gitorious.org/opensuse/build/blobs/40de5ab9156f5422246822b3f97728a12... helped.

From IRC comes the following suggestion: [2012-04-16 11:28] AJaeger: yeah, maybe the chroot case doesn't do its binfmt setup properly [2012-04-16 11:28] AJaeger: though it's slightly tricky with chroot too, since the binfmt stuff is nonvolatile [2012-04-16 11:28] AJaeger: and it's global to the system

2012-04-16 11:30] AJaeger: well, a check in the build script that would give you a proper error if the binfmt stuff isn't configured would probably be the best [2012-04-16 11:30] AJaeger: if the error message gives you a hint on how to configure it that is ;) [2012-04-16 11:30] <AJaeger> agraf__: Exactly [2012-04-16 11:31] AJaeger: something like if [ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/arm ]; then echo "No binfmt configured. Please run qemu-binfmt-conf.sh." >&2; exit 1; fi -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
