Draft: Updated Docker image to Ubuntu-24.04 and Cargo dependencies

[JanDiederich]

There were attempts to update to Ubuntu 22 (#973), and then Ubuntu 24, but that seems to have stopped? Also the dependencies were outdated.

So I updated them, but I can't get it running. I tried to build the Docker image for ARM64 Linux, but it stops in an endless loop. The command line is cargo build-docker-image aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu-cross --tag local.
In crosstool-ng.sh:

    download() {
        # timeout is a command, not a built-in, so it won't
        # work with any bash functions: must call a command.
        timeout "${timeout}" \
            su "${username}" -c \
            "STOP=${step} CT_DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS=1 ${crosstooldir}/bin/ct-ng build.${nproc}"
    }

    while silence_stdout download; [ $? -eq 124 ]; do
        # Indicates a timeout, repeat the command.
        sleep "${sleep}"
    done

Please, can anyone give me a hint how to fix that?

Looking at the died down predecessor #973 I don't expect any help soon. On the other hand: This project is super famous and used by many, many people.
If you added a donate button I would donate a little bit. Maybe others too? Maybe even if the single tips are small, they sum up to something bigger and were enough of a motivation?

[Emilgardis]

Thank you for the consideration, I'd rather get help with contributions like this rather than money <3 I don't think a way to donate would motivate me, but maybe it could motivate other invited maintainers? I have no clue :3

I'll look into the issue you reported, but try setting VERBOSE=1 in the dockerfile to see if there's an error message, we're silencing stdout

[JanDiederich]

VERBOSE=1 didn't help, but I could get it a bit further in the compiling, so I get now the following error in my build process when I use the updated "cross":

LC_ALL="C" PATH="/root/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/root/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin" VSLANG="1033" "cc" "-Wl,--version-script=/tmp/rustceDa4y3/list" "-Wl,--no-undefined-version" "/tmp/rustceDa4y3/symbols.o" "/target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/deps/zune_jpeg-83beae640ba15514.zune_jpeg.21f0ac8659d152a4-cgu.0.rcgu.o" "/target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/deps/zune_jpeg-83beae640ba15514.zune_jpeg.21f0ac8659d152a4-cgu.1.rcgu.o" "/tar ...

Note how it is filled with nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu instead of ...aarch64..., how can I fix that?

[Emilgardis]

nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is the correct toolchain to use though, the target may be aarch64, but the toolchain runs on x86_64

[petehayes102]

I managed to get all the way to testing the targets before bombing: https://github.com/petehayes102/cross/actions/runs/12102553312.

You can see my commits on top of your original one: https://github.com/petehayes102/cross/commits/trying/. I messed up this branch so it says its miles ahead of main, though that's just a dodgy rebase!
