I used the x86_64 variant from the layer (it only downloads the binaries and copies them).

And I checked that with ldd, it seemed ok so far:

---------------------------------------------------------

root@qemux86-64:/usr/share/dotnet# ldd dotnet

            linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffea543000)

            libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9fde06c000)

            libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9fde067000)

            libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f9fddee5000)

            libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9fddda4000)

            libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f9fddd8a000)

            libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9fddbd0000)

            /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9fde097000)

 

Strace didn’t help either:

-------------------------------

root@qemux86-64:/# strace /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet

execve("/usr/share/dotnet/dotnet", ["/usr/share/dotnet/dotnet"], 0x7ffe22f0ab70 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

strace: exec: No such file or directory

+++ exited with 1 +++

 

It’s strange that it denies that the binaries are there. Normally I would have expected something like “wrong elf architecture” or something about missing libraries. The only thing I think I could do now, is to turn this “—enable-default-pie” off, but I’m not sure if this helps, and I don’t know where to turn it off. And what I’m also trying is to go back to Yocto Rocko Release (for this experiment I used Warrior Release)

That layer does have the x86_64 variant as well, no? Is it not working?

https://github.com/RDunkley/meta-dotnet-core/blob/master/recipes-runtime/dotnet-core/dotnet-core_3.1.1.inc

 

The error you're seeing is almost certainly due to Yocto using /lib/ld-so... for dynamic loader, and the binary hardcoding /lib64/....

Hello Alex,

 

Thanks for replying. Yes, I know that this isn’t the way it works on Yocto (and I told the managers it is a crappy idea to do that more than once). But they need .NET Core in that company I work for, and Mono doesn’t work (that’s what they told me). Compiling .NET Core through the Yocto process is ugly, because Microsoft used a mixture of shell scripts to compile it for some platforms, it won’t work this way on Yocto. Actually one already tried it, but only until .NET Core 2.2: https://github.com/Tragetaschen/meta-aspnet

And despite this, I already managed to get the dotnet binaries for ARM32 and ARM64 already working on a i.MX6 and i.MX8

There’s a layer which just deploys the binaries: https://github.com/RDunkley/meta-dotnet-core

This is currently the last step. I thought if it worked on i.MX6 and i.MX8 it shouldn’t be a problem to get it running on Virtualbox with x86-64. It should only make the things easy for the developers. It isn’t even our target platform.

 

Best regards,

Yocto generally does not support this use case. The binary was compiled in a different environment and expects things in different places, and probably being different versions too. I could point out the specific problem why the executable doesn't even start, but it's really the wrong way to approach it. Is the source code for it available?

 

Microsoft specifically lists which distributions are supported, and there is nothing Yocto-based in it:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/dependencies?tabs=netcore31&pivots=os-linux

 

For mono things you can use meta-mono layer, but I am not sure if it provides exactly the item you're after.

Hello,

 

I’m trying to create a normal QEmu (x86-64) Image, which I can let run in Virtualbox. As a addition I deployed .NET Core, which I got from this side:

But I can’t execute it:

================================================================================

 

The only difference I found, is that Python is a “ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable” whereas dotnet is a “ELF 64-bit LSB executable”. I tried to turn that PIE (seemed to be a gcc option: --enable-default-pie) feature of, but that didn’t work well, and I couldn’t find a way to remove it.
