Support for linux on IBM Power platform (ppc64le) #8870

Open bogdansavu opened 1 month ago

I am trying to compile the agent on the RHEL 8 ppc64le platform, but I am getting the following error:

I believe we had some PPC support added a while ago but maybe only for the containers which would be Debian based.

Can you run the containers instead?

However it looks like a fundamental issue on that target. It's not an officially supported platform unfortunately so probably needs some tweaks or updates to be contributed (if it is even possible): https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/linux/redhat-centos

@patrick-stephens do you have any documentation or more details how to try it with containers?

Also do you know who can help or where I should open a request for adding support for ppc64le patform on linux?

Thank you!

Containers are just however you run them on your OS (install container runtime, etc.) then run: https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/docker

However, I was confused as looks like PPC support for containers was not merged yet: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/pull/6792 I would pick up that PR and see if it helps as well as improve it for future merge?
