PPC64

[Dennis Byrne]

Is there a consul binary for PPC64 or PPC64le? If not is there a mechanism to compile one?

[James Phillips]

Hi Dennis,

We don't officially build one for that architecture, but something like this run from the top of a Consul checkout should build one:

gox -os=linux -arch=ppc64 -output=consul-ppc

Hope that helps!

Not sure we have go installed properly madee, but it gox does not seem to pickup ppc64

javauser@dev1:/work/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul$ gox -os=linux -arch=ppc64 -output=consul-ppc

Number of parallel builds: 4

Nothing gets built from our ubuntu machine and gox/go are not in the BigEndian repo from ibm

Hmm - I was able to build it on Mac OS X. Consul is pure Go so you should be able to cross-compile from any platform that you can run the Go tools on. Here's how it looked:

james@workpad consul(master)* $ go version

go version go1.6.3 darwin/amd64

james@workpad consul(master)* $ go get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox

james@workpad consul(master)* $ gox -os=linux -arch=ppc64 -output=consul-ppc

Number of parallel builds: 3

-->     linux/ppc64: github.com/hashicorp/consul

james@workpad consul(master)* $ file consul-ppc

consul-ppc: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

I think its an issue with GOX. I was able to get it to work with this..

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=ppc64 go build main.go commands.go version.go

I tried building gox from source and all other options with not luck. We tried on several new ubuntu 16.04 installs as well. It was very odd.

Thanks again for all the help

No, it did not work:

#     gox -os=linux -arch=ppc64 -output=consul-ppc

Number of parallel builds: 31

-->     linux/ppc64: github.com/hashicorp/consul

I was able to get it working with the following command:

 gox -os=linux -arch=ppc64le -output=consul-ppc
