Hi Guix experts,

in trying to build a Docker image for ARM64 (aarch64-linux), I am
hitting errors of the kind

  "package git-annex@10.20230926 does not support aarch64-linux"

There doesn't seem to be anything specifically in the package
definitions that precludes building for aarch64-linux, so I suspect it's
either a dependency or the build system that lacks the required support.

How would I go about debugging such issues? Maybe the causes are simple
and I can fix them. But I don't even know where to start.

Cheers,
  Konrad.

Currently GHC is only supported on i686 and x86_64.

(use-modules (gnu packages)(guix packages))
(supported-package? (specification->package "git-annex"))
$1 = ("x86_64-linux" "i686-linux")

As far as tracking back from git-annex to ghc to see that it's not
supported on aarch64, I'm not sure how you would find that information.

Git-annex uses the haskell-build-system which requires GHC, the only
modern haskell compiler. Unfortunately GHC is only packaged for
i686-linux and x86_64-linux in Guix.

Maybe someone else can give more general or Guix specific advice on
finding out the cause of such problems, but I believe that in this case
the fix would just be packaging GHC for aarch64-linux. It should[1] be
possible but it will require some work.

You can try this in guix repl:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(import (srfi srfi-1)
        (guix packages)
        (gnu packages))

(define p (specification->package "git-annex"))
(define deps (package-development-inputs p))
(find (lambda (pkg)
        (not (member "aarch64-linux" (package-supported-systems pkg))))
      (map cadr deps))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks, that's very useful!

I changed the last command to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(find (lambda (pkg)
        (and (package? pkg)
             (not (member "aarch64-linux" (package-supported-systems pkg)))))
      (map cadr deps))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

because some packages have local files among the development inputs.

This search doesn't work for all cases though. For "python-jupyterlab"
(from the guix-science channel) it returns no problematic dependencies,
and yet I cannot build the package for aarch64-linux.

The problem in that case seems to be cross-compilation. The dependency
of python-jupyterlab that fails to build is libwebp, whose build log
says:

   @ unsupported-platform /gnu/store/7fj9ckgxw27r196vkisc9cm3n8v9072x-libwebp-1.3.2.drv aarch64-linux
   while setting up the build environment: a `aarch64-linux' is required to
   build `/gnu/store/7fj9ckgxw27r196vkisc9cm3n8v9072x-libwebp-1.3.2.drv',
   but I am a `x86_64-linux'

Maybe this would build on an actual ARM64 machine.

Cheers,
  Konrad.

Thanks for the pointer! It looks indeed like GHC already support
aarch64, so it's just a matter of integrating that support into Guix.
I'll see if I can find someone motivated and competent to do that.

Cheers,
  Konrad

I've been carrying around this diff for a while but I don't think I'm
currently ready to finish it off. It adds aarch64 and armhf bootstrap
binaries for GHC and gets started on the path to building ghc-8.6 with
them.

This shows an attempt to compile libwebp natively for aarch64-linux,
which fails on your machine.

To cross compile, you would run:

  guix build python-jupyterlab --target=aarch64-linux-gnu

… but I doubt this would succeed because that’s a huge pile of packages.

That's already what I did, by giving the same option to "guix pack".

I had someone check on a real ARM machine, and there libwebp compiles
just fine. There seems to be some cross-compilation issues, for whatever
reasons - this isn't my priority for now.

I ended up tracking down all the issues with the container I was trying
to produce, and in the end it's always ghc that prevents builds for
aarch64-linux. Most frequently by having pandoc as a dependency.

I'll have to take a closer look at Efraim's diff (thanks Efraim!),
but I fear it's above my paygrade.

Cheers,
  Konrad.
