I am struggling to get a repo compiling with Docker. I have not made any changes to the source code yet and am just trying to build the master. But I am struggling to build it according to instructions in the repository: NickelMenu
According to instructions the source code is to be compiled with docker with:
docker run --volume="$PWD:$PWD" --user="$(id --user):$(id --group)" --workdir="$PWD" --env=HOME --entrypoint=make --rm -it ghcr.io/pgaskin/nickeltc:1.0 all koboroot
First I am getting a warning (and error) saying: WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested exec /usr/bin/make: exec format error
So I have searched around and found that I need to specify the platform if having different platform architecture on the host. I am trying to run this on a raspi (linux/arm64/v8 ?) but the host is linux/amd64 for image ghcr.io/pgaskin/nickeltc:1.0. So I have tried:
sudo DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM="linux/amd64" docker run --volume="$PWD:$PWD" --user="$(id --user):$(id --group)" --workdir="$PWD" --env=HOME --entrypoint=make --rm -it ghcr.io/pgaskin/nickeltc:1.0 all koboroot
The warning is now removed but I still get the error: exec /usr/bin/make: exec format error
I would appreciate if anyone could give me some directions since I am out of ideas. I am using Docker version 27.5.1, build 9f9e405
Thank you!
The issue is that your hardware (where you run Docker) is based on ARM, while the Docker image that you're using is based on AMD64 (aka "Intel", aka "x86_64").
You will have to build your own image, which is explained here, but also note that "this cross-toolchain has only been tested on x86_64".
