Cross compiling a release with Apple M1 and Docker
I am trying to cross-compile an Elixir release within a Docker container for amd64 on a M1 Macbook and I receive the following error when calling mix deps.compile:
The Docker image I am building from is elixir:latest with the --platform=amd64 flag set.
#0 3.446 Error while loading project :decimal at /app/deps/decimal

#0 3.480 (stdlib 4.3.1) lists.erl:1350: :lists.foldl/3
Any suggestions on how to solve this? It builds fine when trying on the same arm64 Docker image so I assume I am missing something.

Cross-/multiplatform images of OTP languages is unsupported since the introduction of the JIT compiler in OTP24.
Docker uses QEMU for that under the hood, which doesn’t support some of the memory magic that happens for JIT, see: Erlang/OTP 25 JIT on AArch64 fails in user mode emulation (#1034) · Issues · QEMU / QEMU · GitLab

For posterity: you can set ERL_AFLAGS=“+JMsingle true” and make the JIT more amenable to emulation. Or compile it on a matching machine.
As a last resort, you can try compiling the Erlang VM without JIT and using the emulator, but that’s not recommend (it is slower too).
