Binary not found after installation on Alpine linux

[afoltzm]

Hi there! Thanks for putting together this great library, and for making it available to Babashka users as a pod. I'm trying to get it set up in Docker for some lightweight documentation tasks, but I'm coming across a strange issue where I can't find the binary on Alpine linux after installing it.

Here's a Dockerfile that reproduces the issue:

FROM alpine:3.12.0

ARG BB_VER=0.1.3
ARG BOOTLEG_VER=0.1.9

RUN apk add --no-cache wget unzip tar
RUN mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
RUN echo "Installing babashka"
RUN wget https://github.com/borkdude/babashka/releases/download/v$BB_VER/babashka-$BB_VER-linux-static-amd64.zip
RUN unzip babashka-$BB_VER-linux-static-amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin/
#RUN bb -e '(print "babashka installed successfully.")'

RUN echo "Installing bootleg"
RUN wget https://github.com/retrogradeorbit/bootleg/releases/download/v$BOOTLEG_VER/bootleg-$BOOTLEG_VER-linux-amd64.tgz
RUN tar xvf bootleg-$BOOTLEG_VER-linux-amd64.tgz && \
    mv bootleg /usr/local/bin && \
    chown 0:0 root /usr/local/bin/bootleg && \
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bootleg

RUN ls -la /usr/local/bin/
RUN /usr/local/bin/bb --version
RUN /usr/local/bin/bootleg --version

ENTRYPOINT ["bb"]

The output of the ls -la /usr/local/bin step shows the following:

total 117636
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4096 Aug 24 23:30 .
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4096 May 29 14:20 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      65626272 Jun 27 11:38 bb
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root      54815784 May 27 14:13 bootleg

so it's clearly there and it's marked as executable, but attempting to execute it fails further down in the Dockerfile.

/bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/bootleg: not found
The command '/bin/sh -c /usr/local/bin/bootleg --version' returned a non-zero code: 127

Is this because there's a runtime dependency for bootleg or GraalVM that the Alpine base image lacks? babashka's static binary appears to work just fine without any additional dependencies.

Happy to provide any additional information if need be.

I just confirmed this is an Alpine issue - using debian:stable-slim as the base image and converting the relevant apk command to apt-get install ... resulted in a successful build. This solves the issue for what I need to get started. If Alpine builds are not a priority for you, then please feel free to close this.

FYI: Clj-kondo and babashka publish releases that use the --static flag which can run on Alpine. The newest GraalVM (20.2.0) offers more fine-grained static possibilities which I haven't used yet.

In 2022, it's recommended to compile using musl and not use the --static flag as a standalone option. If musl is not an option, then a "mostly static" image (everything except glibc) is also an option.
