Description

~# ./gitea-1.4.2-linux-amd64 -h
FATAL: kernel too old
Segmentation fault

~# file gitea-1.4.2-linux-amd64
gitea-1.4.2-linux-amd64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, from '8@1600(%rax) 8@1608(%rax)', not stripped
...

I expect that gitea has Go's minimum requirements.
Otherwise it would be nice to add a note somewhere that kernel must be >= 2.6.32 https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MinimumRequirements#linux

[lunny]

Gitea it doesn't ask special linux kernel version. I think that's Go's requirement. And maybe the golang's wiki is not updated?

[r10r]

That's not correct. It's because the binary is statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32
Other go binaries work fine on this machine.

Rubens-MacBook-Pro:~ ruben$ cat hello.go 
package main

func main() {
	println("hello world")
}
Rubens-MacBook-Pro:~ ruben$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build hello.go

hello world
~# file hello

[lafriks]

That depends on your go version, older go versions had lower kernel requirements, check your go version

[r10r]

I used the precompiled version form the download page and didn't compile gitea myself.

[daviian]

@r10r That's what he actually meant. Since in your example you compile code yourself with your installed go version, which may be older than the one we use to build the binary.

[r10r]

Rubens-MacBook-Pro:~ ruben$ go version
go version go1.10.1 darwin/amd64

[r10r]

What version did you use?

[daviian]

we use 1.10.2, see

gitea/Dockerfile

Line 4 in 2fcd9b6

FROM golang:1.10-alpine3.7 AS build-env

[r10r]

I've installed 1.10.2, recompiled the example and it still works ...

[r10r]

Apart from that the Makefile build target does not cross-compile on OSX.

When I build it without the Makefile it builds:

but raises another error on the server:

[lafriks]

you need to build using GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -tags='bindata' -o gitea

[lunny]

Your gopath haven't set up correctly.
go build will not package the resources, you have to copy the resources to the deployment machine.

[lunny]

You can find how to build from source, see https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/

[gerricom]

Just want to let you know, that I get this message when updating our gitea 1.7.4 to 1.7.5 on one of our CentOS6 machines.

> file gitea-1.7.4
gitea-1.7.4: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped

gitea-1.7.5: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

To us this is not very dramatic as we intend to migrate to a more recent OS, but maybe some other users are affected too...
