I built and ran an IBM MQ container image natively on M1 Apple Silicon by running

git clone https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container.git

cd mq-container

make build-devserver

Then I wrote a simple Dockerfile for my Golang application that attempts to talk to the queue manager using mq-golang-jms20

FROM ibm-mqadvanced-server-dev:9.4.0.0-arm64 AS mq

FROM arm64v8/golang:1.22-bullseye AS builder

# set working dir
WORKDIR /app

# copy files and download deps
COPY go.* ./
RUN go mod download

# copy entire app code to working dir
COPY . ./

# update builder container to install MQ Golang libs (it depends on the native C client)
RUN mkdir -p /opt/mqm && chmod a+rx /opt/mqm

COPY --chown=0:0 --from=mq /opt/mqm /opt/mqm

RUN GOOS=darwin GOARCH=arm64 go build -v -o server ./main.go

I built my image using docker-compose with this docker-compose file

services:
  mq:
    image: ibm-mqadvanced-server-dev:9.4.0.0-arm64
    container_name: ibm-mq-container
    environment:
      - LICENSE=accept
      - MQ_QMGR_NAME=QM1
      - MQ_APP_PASSWORD=password
      - MQ_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
    ports:
      - 1414:1414
      - 9443:9443
    volumes:
      - qm1data:/mnt/mqm
    networks:
      - webapi_network
    restart: unless-stopped

But it complains with

0.318 /go/pkg/mod/github.com/ibm-messaging/[email protected]/jms20subset/MQOptions.go:5:32: undefined: ibmmq.MQCNO
0.318 /go/pkg/mod/github.com/ibm-messaging/[email protected]/jms20subset/MQOptions.go:8:25: undefined: ibmmq.MQCNO

I’ve scoured the internet for a possible solution but can’t seem to find one. Does anyone know how to make mq-golang-jms20 work with ARM64 mq-container image? For context, this works fine with the older images built for AMD64 platform instead.
