GraalVM Native Images on ARM
The DRAGON Stack Manager comes as native images ready to download and use for several operating systems: Windows, Linux, and MAC OS.
With the latest Oracle Cloud Infrastructure announcements; e.g. now supporting ARM Ampere shapes; it was important to build a new DRAGON image.
Having Oracle Linux as the supported Operating System already helps a lot but sometimes minor changes have to be done, especially in order to get this GraalVM Native Image built on ARM Ampere architecture.
Problem: running the usual mvn verify command to build the project produced several errors such as:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
or later
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lzcollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The solution was to install static versions of the missing libraries:
sudo yum -y install libstdc++-static glibc-static zlib-staticNow the build process is successful!
