How to set buildmode only for architectures that support it?

[alexbozhenko]

Hi, Noble people!

When I set

buildmode: pie

(https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Build_modes)

I got:

 ⨯ release failed after 49s                
    error=
    │ build failed: exit status 1: -buildmode=pie not supported on linux/mips64le
    target=linux_mips64le_hardfloat

That's because not all arches support it: golang/go#64875

Is there a way to override build mode to default for goarches that do not support it, without duplicating the entire build config?

I guess I can list all of the os X arch combinations that do not support the buildmode, but is there a better way?

    overrides:
      - goos: linux
        goarch: mips64le
        buildmode: "exe"
      - goos: linux
        goarch: 386
        buildmode: "exe"
      - goos: linux
        goarch: arm
        buildmode: "exe"
      - goos: linux
        goarch: s390x
        buildmode: "exe"

Thanks.

Found this example:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/pull/708/files
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/pull/726/files
But they actually have code generating the goreleaser config.

Hey!

I believe you'll have to create one build with the targets that support it, and another build with the targets that don't.

As long as you're not filtering anything by id later (i.e. setting ids: ), it should all work fine.

Note that you'll need to add an ID to both builds, e.g.:

builds:
- id: pie
  buildmode: pie
  targets: [ ... ]
- id: nopie
  targets: [ ... ]

Hope this helps!
