Error relocating grpc-gateway.so: unsupported relocation type 7

[Kozaky]

Hi,

I am basically following the example from this blog to create a grpc plugin: https://www.krakend.io/blog/krakend-grpc-gateway-plugin/

The issue is that ones I try to run it on my mac I get the following error:

This is the dockerfile that I am using:

FROM krakend/builder:2.5 as builder

WORKDIR /src ADD go.mod /go.mod ADD go.sum /go.sum COPY ./gateway/ /gateway COPY ./generated/ /generated COPY ./plugins/ /plugins RUN export CGO_ENABLED=1 RUN export CC=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc RUN export GOARCH=arm64 RUN export GOHOSTARCH=amd64 RUN export EXTRA_LDFLAGS='-extldflags=-fuse-ld=bfd -extld=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc' RUN go build -ldflags="${EXTRA_LDFLAGS}" -buildmode=plugin -o /plugins/grpc-gateway.so /plugins/grpc-gateway.go

FROM devopsfaith/krakend:2.5

COPY --from=builder /plugins/grpc-gateway.so /etc/krakend/plugins/

COPY krakend.json /etc/krakend/krakend.json

I think the issue is related to the architecture problems you mention on your site for ARM64: https://www.krakend.io/docs/extending/injecting-plugins/, but adding the flags you mentioned there doesn't seem to solve the issue.

Do you know how I can solve it? Thanks in advance :)

Hi @Kozaky You should add the environment variables with the ENV Dockerfile directive, the RUN export will not work. Try running this manually or inside a script to check if it works for you.
