Install from Homebrew is not working

[alecthegeek]

I am using an M1 based Macbook

1. When installing from homebrew I had to manually add the execute bit.

    chmod +x  /opt/homebrew/Cellar/atac/0.11.3/bin/atac

2. The binary is for X64 rather than ARM so I can't run it

(PS -- This looks like a cool tool so will install from binary for now)

I've experienced this on both my intel mac book and my m1 mac book. Both of them returned the error

~ atac
zsh: exec format error: atac

# from m1 macbook
file atac
atac: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), static-pie linked, not stripped

I think that problems comes from the binary I put in my homebrew script. Currently the only one that has been working for is unknown-linux-musl, but since I don't have a mac maybe it doesn't work at all on those devices. I have been searching how to put binaries for many distribution in my homebrew but I do not find anything at all... If you guys know, I am willing to understand how!

Some tap are not using the binary but launch the cargo install

Here is also an article https://superuser.com/questions/1793635/how-to-publish-binary-executables-as-homebrew-taps-for-both-macos-and-linux

I may have misunderstood something anyway.

But it seems to me there is something to around what they call a "bottle"

It looks like this cargo tool could be useful https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist

Hello guys,

I think I fixed it Please try to install it again.

Here is brew Formula: https://github.com/Julien-cpsn/homebrew-atac/blob/main/Formula/atac.rb

Still not working for me (M1 Macbook)

$ file   /opt/homebrew/Cellar/atac/0.12.0/bin/atac
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/atac/0.12.0/bin/atac: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), static-pie linked, not stripped

:-(

@alecthegeek how can you have 0.12.0 while it's the 0.13.0 that is available ?

did you launch the following command ?

brew upgrade atac

[Julien-cpsn]

@alecthegeek hmm, I've just udpdated the app version to 0.13.0 and your comments talks about the v0.12.0. Maybe try to uninstall entirelly and install it again? or just update it?

[ccoVeille]

@Julien-cpsn for records, I just upgrade via brew, and I got the 1.13.0 and the binary is working

Yes same, I tried before posting. But well we use Linux 👀

[ccoVeille]

@alecthegeek If you want to replicate you could launch this and copy and paste the results here

brew info atac
file $(realpath $(which))

[alecthegeek]

Ah Ha.

A brew update fixed it!

Sorry about that.

Also not sure if this info is useful

@alecthegeek so everything works fine?? I am happily surprised haha

Also not sure if this info is useful

https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook#handling-different-system-configurations

Yes I have red through that but the problem was handling many tar archives which is not documented

[alecthegeek]

Looks like success to me. I will close the ticket.

Merci bien
