Description: This tool will tell you "can your machine+kernel run architecture X?".

The check is for the ability to run machine code and supporting appropriate
syscall ABI, not for the presence of userland libraries.  IE, a positive
answer means you can use a chroot or container of that architecture, add it
to your multiarch set, etc, but doesn't mean you can currently run non-static
binaries without installing required libraries.

Comment 1 Jakub Kadlčík 2022-09-03 22:08:43 UTC
Hello Robin,
thank you for the package.

I am trying to use it, and I am getting results, that I wouldn't
expect. For example:

    [jkadlcik@zeratul ~]$ arch-test arm64
    arm64: ok
    [jkadlcik@zeratul ~]$ arch-test s390x
    s390x: ok
    [jkadlcik@zeratul ~]$ arch-test ppc64el
    ppc64el: ok

I am running on a standard Lenovo X1 laptop, which is x86_64.

    [jkadlcik@zeratul ~]$ uname -a
    Linux zeratul 5.18.17-200.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Aug 11 14:36:06 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So I would expect only something like amd64 and i386 to be OK.
Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the package?
Sorry if I am missing something obvious.


Thank you,
Jakub

This tool will take user-space emulators, e.g. qemu-user into account.
For example, it will return ok for riscv if qemu-user-static-riscv is installed, no matter what is the native arch.

Thank you for the explanation

Are these really needed? I removed all the binutils-* BuildRequires
and the package still successfully builds in Copr for all Fedora
chroots and architectures.


> %{_bindir}/*
> %{_prefix}/lib/*
> %{_mandir}/man1/*

Please be more specific here, for example

    %{_bindir}/%{name}
    %{_bindir}/elf-arch
    ...

Fedora-review tool returns these in the Rpmlint section but if I
understand correctly, this is done intentionally.

Spec URL: https://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/arch-test.spec
SRPM URL: https://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/arch-test-0.18-1.fc36.src.rpm

Changes:
1. use %generate_buildrequires to generate the list of binutils BR
2. Don't run configure to not opt out any arch
3. Include the mingw arches and apply an upstream patch to fix the build
4. Convert to rpmautospec

Yes. That's the trick of this package. It simple build different kinds of executables and run each to see
whether the current environment can run codes of that arch.

Spec URL: https://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/arch-test.spec
SRPM URL: https://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/arch-test-0.18-1.fc38.src.rpm

Using %generate_buildrequires is too tricky for this package, I changed to specify BR by
command paths.

Comment 6 Robin Lee 2022-09-12 08:09:32 UTC
FYI, this tool is mainly to be used with BuildStream, the tool that builds Flatpak runtimes and GNOME OS.

Comment 7 Jakub Kadlčík 2022-09-13 18:13:33 UTC
Thank you for the changes, Robin.

> Version:        0.18

There is already 0.19
https://github.com/kilobyte/arch-test/releases/tag/v0.19

Which includes the Patch0 change, I think.

Otherwise LGTM
