exec format error: nekotools

[xyproto]

Hi,

I'm trying to pakage neko 2.1.0 for Arch Linux.

Using CMake works great (thanks for switching over!), but when running the resulting binaries, there are issues:

% nekoml
zsh: exec format error: nekoml

% strace nekoml
execve("/usr/bin/nekoml", ["nekoml"], [/* 76 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
write(2, "strace: exec: Exec format error\n", 32strace: exec: Exec format error
) = 32
exit_group(1)                           = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++

This happens for nekoc, nekoml and nekotools, but not neko.

I'm using the default CMake definitions, except from the usual -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr and -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib.

Here is the complete PKGBUILD file.

I'm on 64-bit Arch Linux.

nekoc, nekoml and nekotools are built using nekotools boot, which concatenates the neko binary with some neko bytecode. It then try to "fix" the ELF headers with clever tricks and maybe that causes the issue.

Would you try apply a8c71ad (as a patch)? It builds nekoc, nekoml and nekotools using C instead of messing with the binary format.

More details: #130

Will try the patch, thanks!

Oh, I think you will need to apply fe87462 as well. Please let me know if there is still other problems.

Closing since I can see neko 2.1 is available at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=neko&maintainer=&flagged=
Thanks, xyproto!

Sorry for not coming back to you when I got it working, I forgot.

Everything seems to work fine when only passing -DRUN_LDCONFIG=OFF to CMake.

Thanks!
