无法在 Ubuntu 容器中执行 .run 文件

Question

there.

I'm trying to install the Microchip XC8 compiler on a Ubuntu container to make a pipeline for building the project with Gitlab CI. But there's no response after I run the "xc8-v1.45-full-install-linux-installer.run" file.

Here is the environment I have:

1. Official Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image on a Docker container
2. Docker version 19.03.13
3. Windows 10 as Docker host
4. Microchip XC8 v1.45 compiler

And the commands I used for downloading and installing are as following:

# Download XC8 from the Microchip official site
wget http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/xc8-v1.45-full-install-linux-installer.run

# Change the access permission
chmod +x xc8-v1.45-full-install-linux-installer.run

# Execute the ".run" file
./xc8-v1.45-full-install-linux-installer.run

After I did them all, there's no response. Obviously, something went wrong.

I have tried the installation process above on a native Ubuntu computer, and it just works fine. Is there any prerequisite I missed? Or there have some ways for me to achieve the same purpose? Thanks!

Answer 1

I was having this problem on 64 bit Ubuntu 20.04 as well.

I had several problems, could not change execution bit because it was on an NTFS partition and the executable required 32 bit libraries to run.

First I had to move the file from an NTFS partition so that I could set the file to executable. In my case I moved it to my downloads directory and then in that folder executed:

sudo chmod +x ./xc8-v1.42-full-install-linux-installer.run

It still would not run, so I checked its type by executing:

file ./xc8-v1.42-full-install-linux-installer.run

which resulted in the response:

./xc8-v1.42-full-install-linux-installer.run: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, no section header

Eventually the main solutions was to install 32 bit libraries:

sudo apt-get install lib32z1

Finally I could install install that 32 bit library. Then running this worked:

sudo ./xc8-v1.42-full-install-linux-installer.run

Using existing MPLAB Docker repo

This GitLab.com project exists:
MPLAB X IDE/IPE podman/docker container

This may not help with your .run file problem, but maybe switching to an existing docker container might make it easier for you.
They also work with .run files , so you may find your solution over there as well.

Features:

• Has a general-purpose installation of MPLAB X and the toolchain.
• X11 forwarding for working in the IDE is supported.
• Can use USB from inside the container.
• Requires some setup. See readme for installation instructions.
• MIT License

Need to test this still myself, but just wanted to share here, might just as well.
