Can it be cross-compiled from x86 to Apple silicon (arm64)?

Hi there @plananderson with regards to the above question the answer is yes (use compiler Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)). You can try it yourself, by following the " Build and Run it yourself" section of docs here, or just do as follows:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/RedisTimeSeries/RedisTimeSeries.git
cd RedisTimeSeries
make
redis-server --loadmodule ./bin/macos-x64-release/redistimeseries.so

Sample output:

fco@fcos-Air RedisTimeSeries % redis-server --loadmodule ./bin/macos-x64-release/redistimeseries.so

Closing the issue give I believe the above info should be enough to get you up and running. Feel free to reopen if required

@filipecosta90 Thank you for quick reply, but I am not sure about this.

Some insights here: When I am building redis I am using CFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" LDFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" make after that I can confirm that I have arm64 using lipo -info src/redis-server Non-fat file: src/redis-server is architecture: arm64

If I am doing the same for RedisTimeSeries I get: building with CFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" LDFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" make build

getting this after lipo -info bin/macos-x64-release/redistimeseries.so

Non-fat file: bin/macos-x64-release/redistimeseries.so is architecture: x86_64

[filipecosta90]

@plananderson using your exact command:

RedisTimeSeries % CFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" LDFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" make build

(...)
(base) fco@fcos-Air RedisTimeSeries % lipo -info ./bin/macos-x64-release/redistimeseries.so 
Non-fat file: ./bin/macos-x64-release/redistimeseries.so is architecture: arm64

Are you cross-compiling from an Intel-based Mac computer? If so I suggest we re-open the issue and ping @chayim to give his opinion why your not able to produce an arm64 binary from your x86 machine and how to fix it.

[filipecosta90]

PS: CFLAGS are not taking effect on the build, so if you're indeed building from an x86 machine the build will not work. @chayim please acknowledge :) @plananderson I'll rephrase the issue name if you don't mind to "Can it be cross-compiled to Apple silicon (M1) "

[c128128]

Thanks, that's my case. I am trying to cross-compile it, on x86_64.

Any news on this case ?

[danni-m]

@rafie @chayim whats the status here?

[doppleware]

Is there any news on this?

[ashtul]

@doppleware you can try an arm docker.

docker pull redisfab/redistimeseries:1.6.9-arm64v8-bionic
docker pull redisfab/redistimeseries:1.6.9-arm64v8-focal
