Build Grafana for another platform

salparadise · December 15, 2024, 4:17am

I have the Grafana source code on MacOS, and would like to build a binary for linux/386.

I would have thought exporting GOOS and GOARCH and then running “make build” would do the trick, but I’m failing with that approach. The makefile seems to be building intermediate binaries for linux/386 that aren’t compatible with MacOS.

What’s the correct way to go about this?

Check scripts in the repo, e. g.

github.com

grafana/grafana/blob/8f6e9f8ed0a5024a510cc337c9f1e6972bfb23d4/scripts/build/build.sh#L87


      
            fi
            CC=${CCX64} go run build.go ${OPT} build
            CC=${CCX64_MUSL} go run build.go -libc musl ${OPT} build
          }
          
          function build_backend() {
            if [ ! -d "dist" ]; then
              mkdir dist
            fi
          
            go run build.go -goarch armv6 -cc ${CCARMV6} ${OPT} build
            go run build.go -goarch armv7 -cc ${CCARMV7} ${OPT} build
            go run build.go -goarch arm64 -cc ${CCARM64} ${OPT} build
            go run build.go -goarch armv7 -libc musl -cc ${CCARMV7_MUSL} ${OPT} build
            go run build.go -goarch arm64 -libc musl -cc ${CCARM64_MUSL} ${OPT} build
            build_backend_linux_amd64
          }
          
          function build_frontend() {
            if [ ! -d "dist" ]; then
              mkdir dist

Thanks for this feedback. I made a little progress with the commands you guided me towards, but quickly became familiar with things like “cgo” and decided that for for my needs, cross-compling Grafana isn’t worth the effort required. I resorted to trying to compile on the lone platform I’m interested in, and am working through the obstacles I’ve encountered there.

Below are some of the articles I read during this process, for anyone stumbling across this thread seeking to do the same (spread out across multiple posts because I’m New).
