| Summary | 0008514: ELF plugin fails on big endian architectures | ||||
| Description | The revived ELF plugin (0002516) does not seem to work properly on big endian architectures (such as s390x, ppc64, hppa, etc); this can be seen by its test (i.e. "test_elf") that fails: FAIL: test_elf ============== Did not get expected meta data of type 1 and format 1 with value `application/x-executable' from plugin `elf' Did not get expected meta data of type 83 and format 1 with value `i386' from plugin `elf' Did not get expected meta data of type 92 and format 1 with value `Executable file' from plugin `elf' Did not get expected meta data of type 94 and format 1 with value `libc.so.6' from plugin `elf' FAIL test_elf (exit status: 1) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Build libextractor 1.12 on a big endian architecture, and also run the test suite. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fix committed to master branch. | |
| 4de5650..4bf5f20 should fix this, but I don't have a BE machine to test on right now. Can you please confirm the fix? | |
| I built upstream git at revision 4bf5f20ad0eb8788fe65d4d2f95028f0c2e5be69, and test_elf still fails with the same output as reported previousy. | |
| Forgot to mention: the build mentioned in my previous comment was done on an s390x Debian/unstable system. | |
| 8bd634b..96894ba tries to fix it again :-) | |
