Compiling on ARM

I’m tring to compile the source code on ARM server.
The enviroment is same with Run on ARM cpu server - #6 by liweigu .
The source code is downloaded from github at 2020-03-16.

There are 2 problems.

  1. detect OS to ‘linux’
    At line 174 in libnd4j/buildnativeoperations.sh:
    case “$OS” in
    the value of $OS is 'linux", result in the value of $ARCH is 'x86-64", which is wrong.
    I set the value of $OS to ‘linux-arm64’ by hand to solve it.
  2. scalar error
    The compiling log:

Could not find OpenBLAS, please make sure to run the build with Maven or set the OPENBLAS_PATH variable

Keep an eye on this branch: It should work. Let me know if you have any questions:

The 1st problem can be solved by change
./buildnativeoperations.sh
(https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai/getting-started/build-from-source#building-manually)
to
./buildnativeoperations.sh -platform linux-arm64

@liweigu just focus on compiling using maven:

mvn -Djavacpp.platform=linux-arm64 clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

is all you should need. Make sure you use my branch.

The error occurs in libnd4j/buildnativeoperations.sh at line 558:

eval $MAKE_COMMAND $MAKE_ARGUMENTS && cd …/…/…

the content of the command is

make -j 4

It hasn’t reached the place to comple java code using mvn, i think.

What version of GCC are you using?

gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0
cmake version 3.16.5

This is a known bug. It was already addressed once, but looks like the same fix should be applied for all arm archs. I’ll apply fix later today.

Okey, i shall retry tomorrow or later.

I will post update here once it’s merged to KonduitAI repo. Thanks for highlighting this problem.

You are welcome :grinning:

@liweigu which repository you’ve cloned and tried to build?

The code is from

For the above (let’s call it Env-A), the source code is downloaded by “Download ZIP” from that page at 2020-03-16.

Here’s a new machine(called Env-B) on Huawei Cloud, it’s gcc version is

gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0

the source code is downloaded by git clone, and the compiling has finished nd4jcpu, the logs are:

I see. Please try to build from our dev repo: GitHub - KonduitAI/deeplearning4j: Eclipse Deeplearning4j, ND4J, DataVec and more - deep learning & linear algebra for Java/Scala with GPUs + Spark
This problem should be solved there by now.

OK, i try it. I will reply the result.

With repo: GitHub - KonduitAI/deeplearning4j: Eclipse Deeplearning4j, ND4J, DataVec and more - deep learning & linear algebra for Java/Scala with GPUs + Spark, the log (Env-B):

So it builds fine on dev repo. I see. Thank you.

The compiled repository doesn’t include org/nd4j/nd4j-native-platform directory corresponding to the part of pom.xml:

	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.nd4j</groupId>
		<artifactId>nd4j-native-platform</artifactId>
		<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
		<classifier>linux-arm64</classifier>
	</dependency>

Did i miss something durning compiling?

Besides, when will you provide compiled arm support in 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, so that i can just include them by maven?

I do ‘mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true’ in nd4j/nd4j-backends/nd4j-backend-impls/nd4j-native-platform, then org/nd4j/nd4j-native-platform is compiled.

It should be there soon… @agibsonccc
