cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

[Mair]

• Version: 22.9.1

• Electron Version: 11.0.1
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: --armv7l --linux deb

I am creating an Electron app that uses CRA for the Raspberry pi using Raspian.

The app works fine in dev but when running a build I get an error that seems ruby related.
I tried to follow #3901 to no avail :(

Any help would be appreciated
Error output as follows

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/pi-hunter# npm run build

> [email protected] build /home/pi/pi-hunter
> npm run react-build && tsc -p electron && npm run electron-build


> [email protected] react-build /home/pi/pi-hunter

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

[hovancik]

it was 2 weeks ago, so probably yes.

Hi @Mair @hovancik have you been able to solve or work around this? I'm facing the same issue trying to build for Raspberry Pi OS.

[Mair]

@riccardolardi No unfortunately not yet

[hovancik]

I am having some workarounds and I am able to build: arm64.deb and armv7l.deb. You can check it here: https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly/blob/trunk/.drone.yml

Would be nice if this could be fixed in electron builder. I still can't make snap packages working...

[riccardolardi]

Thanks @hovancik sadly it's out of question for me since I'm on Raspberry Pi OS and some dependencies in your chain (gcc-multilib, g++-multilib) are not available for the platform. Are you using Ubuntu on the Raspi? Or other Debian?

[hovancik]

@riccardolardi check what platform you run your Raspi. gcc tools are for amd64

For example arm64 is like this:

platform:
  os: linux
  arch: arm64

steps:
- name: Build
  image: arm64v8/node:14.16.0-buster
  commands:
  - apt update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y ruby-full bsdtar rpm libopenjp2-tools
  - gem install fpm -v 1.10.1
  - export USE_SYSTEM_FPM="true"
  - npm install
  - npm install npm -g
  - node_modules/.bin/electron-builder build --arm64
  environment:
    GH_TOKEN:
      from_secret: GH_TOKEN

You can also see that it is Debian Buster.

[riccardolardi]

@hovancik I am on armv7l

[hovancik]

I guess that's arm32v7? I don't know
