pljava build from source failing on Mac m1 - can't link with a main executable file for architecture arm64

[birk11]

Hello,

I've postgres 11 installed on my system. When building pljava using command mvn clean install, it is failing at step PL/Java backend native code with the following error.

I'm very new to pljava. Any help would be really appreciated.

java version - 11
postgres version -11
apache maven - 3.8.6

installed llvm package via Homebrew

Is it resolved ? I got similar kind of issue with error such as

3 warnings generated.

I have arm64 system architecture. It's failing on project pljava-so

[jcflack]

This issue, along with #428, seems to relate to the Mac OS compiler and linker ending up with some objects built for x86_64 architecture but a postgres binary for arm64, or the other way around.

This may be a matter of not getting the right options to the compiler or linker during the build.

In pljava-so/pom.xml, there is a var configuration = [ section that currently supplies compiling and linking rules for: Linux, Mac OS X, Windows MinGW, and Windows MSVC.

It may be that the "Mac OS X" configuration needs to be either adjusted to use the right command options on both x86_64 and arm64 architecture, or split into two configurations with more specific probe functions so the right configuration is selected.

I do not have ready access to an arm64 Mac to work on that myself, and the architecture does not appear to be available in the GitHub Actions CI environment we are using. I would certainly welcome a pull request if the right options can be figured out.
