Box64 doesn't install all libraries in /lib64/ on Asahi Linux

[Ssp29-93]

Hi,

I installed box64 (I tried both dnf and compiling) on my M1 Macbook and there are several x86 binaries that I'm unable to launch via box64.

The typical error is :

qemu-x86_64-static: Could not open '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2': No such file or directory

I've read that ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 should be already installed according to https://box86.org/ . I also didn't figured out how to install it by myself bc I'm new to Fedora. I've tried installing the rpm files by hand (didn't worked) and also manually putting the library in /lib64/ (didn't worked either, telling me about some ELF errors while running a program which necessitate this lib)

You can reproduce the issue with the https://slippi.gg/ appimage for example

PS : some apps work great like FreeCAD for ex

Thx for your help and this amazing project !

you realize that you are launching qemu and not box64 here?

Idk why I have this qemu error :fearful:

I also tried scilab this morning after decompressing their tar.gz

This is the complete error message if it can help

It's still running quemu in the end: the "binary" your are luanching is a shell script, so box64 cannot run it and use system bash to launch it, wich will launch the x86-64 binary that will use qemu on your system. binfmt integration... You ave both box64 and qemu on you system both wanting to execte x86_64 binary, and qemu runs.

do you need qemu-static-x86_64 ? if not, just remove it if you it, you can define BOX64_BASH to set the path of the bash from the tests folder of box64, it's a x64_86 version of it, and box64 can use this to launch script file and stay in box64 world...

It worked ! Thanks !

However I'm still running on other issues with missing libraries : Error loading needed lib libgcc_s.so.1

I've read that libgcc_s should came out of the box with box64 so I'm a bit perplex (and idk how to install it on fedora otherwise)

Below is what my terminal returns to me while trying to execute scilab :

Something like this:

sudo btrfs subvolume create /x86_64
sudo mkdir -p /x86_64/etc/yum.repos.d
sudo cp /etc/yum.repos.d/{fedora,fedora-updates,fedora-updates-testing}.repo /x86_64/etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo dnf --installroot=/x86_64 --forcearch=x86_64 --releasever=/ install system-release
sudo dnf --installroot=/x86_64 --forcearch=x86_64 install bash glibc

And save this as ~/.local/bin/box64:

#!/bin/sh
BOX64=/usr/bin/box64

export BOX64_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./:lib/:lib64/:x86_64/:bin64/:libs64/:/x86_64/usr/lib64/
export BOX64_PATH=./:bin/:/x86_64/usr/bin/
export BOX64_BASH=/x86_64/usr/bin/bash

exec "$BOX64" "$@"

Then chmod +x ~/.local/bin/box64.

We're working on a new project to help automatically install dependencies such as this. For now, Box64 appears to be working and a solution has been provided to download the needed x86_64 libraries. Closing as resolved.
