Depends has it’s own config.guess and config.sub, that does recognise arm64-apple-darwin (which it converts to aarch64-apple-darwin), which we copy and use when building zeromq. I can’t recreate your issue using the details you’ve provided, so you’ll have to provide more information.

Not sure what other info i can possibly provide. I just cloned the git, go into depends and run

make HOST=arm64-apple-darwin

With the optional -j 8 for number of threads to use.

I tested other builds namely x86_64-apple-darwin and x86_64-w64-mingw32

Those worked just fine

I see the problem now. I couldn’t recreate before, because I needed to use a slightly older verison of Ubuntu. Should be fixed by #26421.

Thank you. Finally. Depends built OK, but now running CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/arm64-apple-darwin/share/config.site ./configure fails with

I looked at the generated config.guess and config.sub in build-aux , they seem dated. Replacing them worked.

Fixed in #26422.

Seems like a distro bug. I’m not sure it makes sense to try too hard to workaround those, especially for something like cross compiling where it makes more sense to just say “use a non-broken distro”…?

Seems like a distro bug.

Is age a bug?

luke-jr commented at 7:17 pm on November 5, 2022: member

Or absence of a feature, if you prefer.

(But failing for no reason because of an unknown platform seems like a bug IMO.)
