How do I run sniper on an Apple Silicon M1 using docker?

[Kleber Kruger]

I'm trying to run the sniper on an Apple Silicon M1 using the docker with --platform linux/amd64, but it's not working. The test/fft example show me this error:

Is anyone running sniper simulator on an Apple Silicon M1 using docker?

hello, have you figure out the problem? I meet almost the same problem with you.

[Kleber Kruger]

No, I abandoned using Sniper in a MacOS environment with M1 processor and migrated the project to an x86 architecture.

Song Yu Tao, Kleber,

There are issues when running applications like Pin and DynamoRIO in QEMU [1].

Running this myself on an M1 Mac in Docker shows a QEMU error as well:

[RECORD-TRACE] Using the Pin frontend (sift/recorder)

qemu-i386: Could not open '/lib/ld-linux.so.2': No such file or directory

I have tried other virtualization environments, like UTM [2] (which uses QEMU, but full-system mode), and manually running full-system qemu, and those did seem to work, if I remember correctly. It seems that this might be a binfmt issue as described in the DynamoRIO page [1]. Full virtualization of Pin and DynamoRIO should still work.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
