Support for Linux glibc 2.27 aarch64

[john-bergelin]

The ITKPythonBuilds release 5.3.0 doesn't include a build for manylinux2014_aarch64. How would I go about if I wanted to build a module for an aarch64 system running Ubuntu 18.04 with glibc 2.7?

Hi there @john-bergelin ,

There are manylinux2014 and musl Linux aarch64 images here:

https://quay.io/organization/pypa

Python packages built with these toolchains should work on an Ubuntu 18.04 system with glibc 2.7.

More specifics, directed towards the 5.4rc3 packages, on how the manylinux 2_28 aarch64 packages are built can be found here:

Hi @thewtex,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I've tried building the python packages a couple of times now with these steps:

git clone https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKPythonPackage.git
cd ITKPythonPackage
git reset --hard HEAD
git checkout release
git pull origin release
sudo git clean -fdx
sudo rm -rf ITK-source
git fetch origin manylinux2014
git cherry-pick origin/manylinux2014
docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/work/ quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_aarch64:2024-03-25-9206bd9 bash
cd /work
pipx upgrade cmake
yum install sudo

./scripts/internal/manylinux-build-wheels.sh cp39

But it always fails when trying to generate iktFixedArrayPython with this message:

Any ideas on how I can add the other versions?

I've also tried without the "cp39" argument but it fails at the same spot. Or do you know if another image of manylinux2014 is better suited? I used the one from the same date as in the Release.md.

Cheers!

Hi @john-bergelin,

A few pointers:

• Use the latest ITKPythonPackage release, which was recently updated.
• The message means SWIG binary was built with a newer manylinux version, which is why it requires newer GLIBCXX. The solution is to build SWIG from source, then set the CMake variables ITK_USE_SYSTEM_SWIG to ON and SWIG_EXECUTABLE to the path to the swig binary. See:

https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/blob/f383fe0a954620eccdaf69d649acf3fa5be8dc21/Wrapping/Generators/SwigInterface/CMakeLists.txt#L183-L231

A recent bison is also required. I had to build from source, if I recall correctly. You can get it from here: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/. It is an old-school autotools build.

Please consider contributing the new swig binary if this is something you will want to update in the future.
