RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem
======================

Sample CMPI providers shipped with tog-pegasus won't build
on ppc64le.  (Rest of architectures seems OK.)  The error is:

    mak/config.mak:84: *** PEGASUS_PLATFORM environment variable undefined. Please set to one of the following:  LINUX_PPC_E500_GNU   LINUX_ZSERIES_GNU   LINUX_GNU   LINUX_SH4_GNU   LINUX_IX86_GNU   LINUX_X86_64_CLANG   LINUX_IX86_CLANG   LINUX_PPC64_GNU   LINUX_AARCH64_GNU   LINUX_IA64_GNU   LINUX_PPC_GNU   LINUX_ZSERIES64_GNU   LINUX_X86_64_GNU  .  Stop.


Version-Release number of selected component
============================================

tog-pegasus-2.14.1-3.el7.ppc64le


How reproducible
================

Always


Steps to Reproduce
==================

 1. Install pegasus and tog-pegasus-devel
 2. `systemctl start tog-pegasus`
 3. `cd /usr/share/Pegasus/samples`
 4. `make setupSDK`


Actual results
==============

Failure with above error


Expected results
================

Success; no errors.


Additional info
===============

Somehow related is bug 1127399 which is about inability to build these
providers on other architectures.  That has been fixed, but the newly
added ppc64le has not been enabled in the scripts.

Created attachment 1080224 [details]
proposed fix

Verified manually with tog-pegasus-devel-2.14.1-4.

Build succeeds without error.
