how can I install toolchain on redhat 8 ppc64le

[milind69]

i need to install osquery on redhat 8 ppc64le I am trying to compile it but when installing toolchain I get the error below

osquery-toolchain# ./build.sh
Unspported architecture

where can I get supported toolchain

Hi @milind69, there is no osquery toolchain with ppc64le at this time. You will have to rebuild this toolchain with the support. If you look at recent commits you will see how aarch64 was added.

Hi @theopolis thanks for reply
I tried compiling it on both ppc64le abd x86_64 machine but failed , I tried updating cmake variable from cross complication. Honestly I am not very well versed with cross compilation but let me try one more time . I want to compile ppc64le from x86_64 host and I assume it is doable with cmake. But if not I can try on ppc64le and submit the errors I am getting ..
