Hi!

I setup my virtual x86_64 system with an qemu-binfmt-service-type for aarch64 and tried to build guix for aarch64. But this failed because of a missing guile:

stefan@guix ~$ guix build -s aarch64-linux guix@1.2.0-8.7624ebb

I did a guix gc and then tried to build guile itself. But again it failed to build because it is missing guile itself.

Then I thought to try to download the referred but missing guile:

I was too optimistic with this, I didn't wait for the result before sending the e-mail.

Well, the rebuild failed again, as the freshly downloaded guile is not part of the build environment. So the same error happened again:

while setting up the build environment: executing `/gnu/store/x3gq648qnfnla7nppyfjvj62s2i8y7rl-guile-3.0.2/bin/guile': No such file or directory
builder for `/gnu/store/qa15xk65hfx8vhwbnff62iy6g8q9d764-guile-3.0.2.drv' failed with exit code 1

This becomes a blocker now:

 • There is no substitute of guix@1.2.0-8.7624ebb for aarch64.
 • Due to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/41654> building locally an aarch64 is not possible for me.
 • Due to ‘guix system’ not supporting ‘--without-test’ I can’t avoid that error when reconfiguring.
 • Due to this error with a missing guile even building on x86_64 is impossible.
 • Cross-building on x86_64 is possible but creates a derivation with a different hash. So it will not satisfy the need for a ‘guix system reconfigure’ on aarch64.

I just came across this today myself. try 'sudo herd restart
guix-daemon'. It's what made it suddenly start working for me (I
reconfigured to add qemu-binfmt service without restarting).

Indeed I didn’t restart guix-daemon after the reconfigure. I looked through my console log again and I see that I did a reboot after facing this problem. So the guix-daemon should not have been the problem in the end.

I retried everything now: reconfigure, restart guix-daemon, build guix for aarch64, but unfortunately the problem remains. 

Thanks for your response Efraim, it gives me some hope that I can escape my deadlock somehow.

Hi!

I found a workaround, starting the guix-daemon manually with PATH and --disable-chroot:

stefan@guix ~$ sudo herd stop guix-daemon
Service guix-daemon has been stopped.
stefan@guix ~$ sudo PATH=/gnu/store/x3gq648qnfnla7nppyfjvj62s2i8y7rl-guile-3.0.2/bin /gnu/store/ca91bk34z3hmzv5d8j5xi0z8f4riyx7m-guix-1.2.0-8.7624ebb/bin/guix-daemon --build-users-group guixbuild --max-silent-time 0 --timeout 0 --log-compression bzip2 --discover=no --substitute-urls https://ci.guix.gnu.org --disable-chroot &

Now ‘guix build --system=aarch64-linux guix’ is running, however, it is not finished yet.


Bye

Stefan

For the record, this is necessary because when you reconfigure,
qemu-binfmt might set store file names that differ from those passed as
‘--chroot-directory’ options to guix-daemon.

To make sure both are in sync:

  sudo herd restart qemu-binfmt
  sudo herd restart guix-daemon

Stefan: I recommend against ‘--disable-chroot’ as anything could leak
into build processes.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludo’!

Thanks for your reply. I understand that ‘--disable-chroot’ is not a good idea. In the end my try building guix over night fails with test errors. As I wrote in the bug ticket, I even did a reboot after the reconfigure. But just restarting qemu-binfmt and guix-daemon is no solution in my case:

What else could I try otherwise?

I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ file /gnu/store/x3gq648qnfnla7nppyfjvj62s2i8y7rl-guile-3.0.2/bin/guile
/gnu/store/x3gq648qnfnla7nppyfjvj62s2i8y7rl-guile-3.0.2/bin/guile: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /gnu/store/cb88z63hyg1icd2kkahiink2p291mhr2-glibc-2.31/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So ENOENT above means that the ELF interpreter of this file is not in
the build chroot, and that in turns almost certainly hints at an
inconsistency between the ‘--chroot-directory’ flags passed to
guix-daemon and the file name that shows up in
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-aarch64 (set up by ‘qemu-binfmt’).

I don’t see why restarting the two services has no effect.  Could you
compare the output of:

  guix gc -R $(cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-aarch64 |grep interpreter|cut -d ' ' -f 2-)

with the ‘--chroot-directory’ flags shown by:

  cat /proc/$(LC_ALL=C sudo -E herd status guix-daemon | grep Running| sed -'es/.* \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/g')/cmdline | xargs -0 echo

?

Setting PATH like this won’t make any difference.

HTH!

Hi Ludo’!

Thanks for caring!

There were no ‘--chroot-directory’ flags in my case. So I wondered what is wrong and re-read the manual. I figured that I managed to copy-paste the ‘wrong’ example code from the “Transparent Emulation with QEMU” section into my operating-system definition, the first one. I was missing (guix-support? #t).

I know that I read the ‘guix-support’ documentation before changing my operating-system. I think in the end   I copied the first example, I freshly navigated to the “Transparent Emulation with QEMU” chapter after looking-up something else, maybe also because it is mentioning the aarch64, which I needed.

So now it is working. Thanks again for you support. :-)

Would you accept a patch for the manual to contain (guix-support? #t) in the first example as well?

Actually I would even prefer a default change of ‘guix-support’ to #t.

Would it also possible to print some proper error message, if guix build is used with an unsupported ‘--system’ argument.


Bye

Stefan

Ah ha!

Yeah, we should probably change the default to #t if nobody disagrees.

The downsides I can see are: (1) changing defaults in general means
breaking user assumptions, and (2) setting ‘guix-support?’ means that
the build environment is no longer completely hermetic (it contains
extra store items), though it’s arguably still very much under control.

Overall, it’s probably OK.

Could you send a patch?

> Would it also possible to print some proper error message, if guix build is used with an unsupported ‘--system’ argum
ent.

I don’t think so: all we get is ENOENT from execve(2).  There’s no way
to distinguish this kind of ENOENT from the other kind of ENOENT.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I’ve shrinked and tweaked the doc and applied it.

Thanks!
