Hi All,

I tried to run a aarch64 build of samba so that I could get the correct rootfile but I had a few problems.

I installed qemu-user-static on Arch Linux but when I tried to run the gettoolchain command I got an error message about not finding the binfmt_misc helper.

Figured out that I needed to also install qemu-user-static-binfmt as well. Then the error message changed to the fact that it could not find /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static but it was in that directory.

Eventually used the find static command from ./make.sh and found that on Arch Linux it does not have "statically linked" but "static-pie linked". Changing the ./make.sh find static command to look for "static-pie linked" then allowed the build for aarch64 to proceed.

Of course having changed ./make.sh means that it now shows up as a modified file in the git status. I will look at changing the find static command to look for either "statically linked" or "static-pie linked" and submit it as a patch for consideration.


Regards,

Adolf.
