arch support ?

[srh]

Okay, with buildx it's not seeing local images and I don't care to fight it right now. I put my changes in https://github.com/srh/rethinkdb-package-builder/tree/buildx .

[srh]

If you can find a sane way to make it work (cross-compiling? qemu for testing?), go for it.

[srh]

It seems like https://engineering.docker.com/2019/04/multi-arch-images/ implies it would be pretty doable.

It seems pretty easy if you switch to docker edge (and play with it a bit). I'm giving it a run now, maybe it'll work.

I have crosscompiled from ubuntu two month ago.
with:
CROSS=arm-linux-gnueabihf export CC=$CROSS-gcc export CXX=$CROSS-g++ export LD=$CROSS-ld export AR=$CROSS-ar export RANLIB=$CROSS-ranlib

i have made some changes in the rethink pkg scripts. I can provide you a patch, but if you have made changes in the pkg process (updated oudated urls)
I will retry with the last codebase this weekend.

(i'am not a big fan of docker, but for your CI/CD process it's perhaps the best way)

[srh]

I am working on it right now. I've been making a few tweaks to the setup.rb script:

• Add an --arch option, of course.
• Use docker buildx. It seems necessary to follow the buildx create steps at https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/multi-arch/ .
• Change the basic rdbcheckout and fetch scripts to use a v2.4.x commit, because v2.3.7's configure script doesn't recognize aarch64.

Since the packages can be built on an arm64/v8 machine, I guess this issue is not an issue anymore

Oh, thanks, I'll close this I guess.
