Not running on aarch64

[ImagoXV]

Hi there, I'm trying to run chopper on an aarch64 architecture from release. It works perfectly fine on my amd64.

Is there any way to make it works on an aarch64 ?

Thanks for your time

Have you tried a musl build?

[ImagoXV]

No, I did not, that's my first interaction with aarch64.

I'll give it a try and keep you updated

[ImagoXV]

It's not working neither

$ ./chopper 
-bash: ./chopper: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

$ file chopper
chopper: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0602da3ae9dd9e39879c74880e9f70ac449e4278, with debug_info, not stripped

Okay, I don't have any experience using aarch64, but I will look into this

[ImagoXV]

Maybe if you provide the source code, I can compile it for aarch64. But I'm not too familiar with that neither.

I saw that I might be able to run it with

qemu-system-x86_64

But I did not try yet

I just tried it

This does not look like a viable option to be honest. You need a disk image to run the exec into a system emulation.

Well the source code is in the repository. But I will try to cross compile it...

[ImagoXV]

Ok I successfully compiled it

Maybe we share the exec ?

[wdecoster]

If you have a chopper binary for aarch64 I could add it to the releases :-)

[ImagoXV]

Yes, here we are

https://github.com/ImagoXV/chopper_aarch64

It's on the repo root

Thanks for everything !

Has been added to https://github.com/wdecoster/chopper/releases/tag/v0.7.0 Thanks! You may have to do this again for future releases unless I figure out how to do that on my system.

[ImagoXV]

Ok, contact me, we'll find a way
