If rebuild solves the problem, I’ll update the remaining 30 static binaries 😃

solc $ ls linux/aarch64/* | xargs -n 1 file | grep static | wc -l

Confirmed that with the newest version of forge I no longer need to use the --offline workaround, the downloaded solc just works.

Thank you for the quick help and for the quick resolution! Also, thank you for foundry in general, outside of the little trouble I had here with getting started forge&cast have been immensely helpful, an absolute delight ❤️

@lithp Yes, running with --offline should skip it 😃

@nikitastupin updating here: https://github.com/roynalnaruto/svm-rs/pull/42

Hi @roynalnaruto! I’ve recompiled and published the remaining binaries. Feel free to update svm-rs 😃

nikitastupin on Apr 15, 2022

@nikitastupin you can also tag me, so I can update svm-rs once you’ve pushed new binaries.

Perhaps I’ve produced the 0.6.12 version with different compiler options because 0.6.12 binary from the nikitastupin/solc is statically linked while it should be dynamically linked.

% file solc-v0.6.12

solc-v0.6.12: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=7c6fdc07ff8d037a626ee1724e31b2d5a2a7532c, with debug_info, not stripped

% file solc-v0.8.13

solc-v0.8.13: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=3eb9fd783d7d83fe0505c62d9b42b9160bb27fa2, not stripped

Let me reproduce the issue locally and fix that.
