Regular Linux binary doesn't run?

[timcanham]

• Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

• WSL: Linux TIM-ACER-LAPTOP 4.4.0-43-Microsoft #1-Microsoft Wed Dec 31 14:42:53 PST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

• What you're doing and what's happening: I am trying to run this installer:

http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/CCSv7/CCS_7_1_0/exports/CCS7.1.0.00016_linux-x64.tar.gz

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead: I was hoping the binary would run and install the tool. Instead I get this error:

[8] ./ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin
./ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If <cmd> is failing, then run strace -o strace.txt -ff <cmd>, and post the strace.txt output here)

[13] strace -o strace.txt -ff ./ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin
strace: exec: Exec format error

I'm wondering if I'm missing something basic about compatibility with regular Ubuntu.

@timcanham - It looks like to duplicate of #330 because...

It's not a regular file but a UPX compressed file. You could decompress with upx -d command after install it like #2121 (comment).

[timcanham]

This is what I get:

@timcanham - Yes, I could not unpack it either. But it looks like a UPX paced file;

There is a "packed with the UPX executable packer" text in hexdump but...

ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin [amd64-linux.elf, linux/ElfAMD]
  11466699 bytes, not compressed by UPX
root@SUNJOONG-DESKTOP:~/CCS7.1.0.00016_linux-x64#

Why does this happen? I don't know yet :(. Sorry.

I think you could consult "packed with the UPX executable packer" text in hexdump but "not compressed by UPX" output in upx file info with https://github.com/upx/upx/issues .

Or...

You could run ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin on real linux system, not on WSL, and then compress it again with tar on real linux system and decompress that with tar in WSL. I mean... follow number 1 and 2 of README_FIRST.txt file on real linux system and then number 4 and 5 on WSL.

[timcanham]

I actually tried installing the app on a regular Linux box. I tarred it up and copied it over, and I got similar errors. Very weird. I'm actually most interested in running the compilers it installs rather than the GUI itself.

[sunjoong]

I got similar errors.

@timcanham - I guess you might see it with ccs_update_7.1.0.00016_linux64.bin; You look like to meet ccs_update_7.1.0.00016_linux64.bin after avoiding ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin. It looks like ccs_setup_linux64_7.1.0.00016.bin is so-called self-extractable compressed file and that might extract files including /ccsv7/install_scripts/install_drivers.sh, and install_drivers.sh might execute ccs_update_7.1.0.00016_linux64.bin but ccs_update_7.1.0.00016_linux64.bin is also an upx compressed file.

Hmm... WSL does not support upx compressed file yet. I can't imagine other workaround except modifying install_scripts after fully understanding it.

I've verified that this binary is running with the fix for #330, marking as a duplicate.
