Publish linux ARM binaries

[IdacraBackup]

Would be great to publish binaries for Linux ARM in releases, I see in package.json there is already a target "dist:linuxarm"

[developomp]

Also reported here: https://community.anytype.io/t/linux-arm-support/9234

[ra3orblade]

it's not building correctly

[developomp]

For those who are wondering, the problem comes from the fact that snap currently doesn't support building arm64 on amd64 systems.

Should I open a PR so the build workflow can build it using this?

We could also consider dropping snap support entirely in favor of flatpak, which I think is what the majority of Linux users actually want.

[ra3orblade]

You can try, middleware builds arm version I think and it should already correctly download the required arch release in update.sh

[Vortigern-The-Grey]

Would also be interested in this as code from a Raspberry Pi 4 running Kali Linux.

I've nearly been able to build this on Asahi Linux, however ran into a snag with primordials being undefined. Nearly completed troubleshooting. When I get it to build successfully, I'll submit my fixes/writeup here.

Sorry, been a bit busy with other stuff. I plan to reattack this week.

I built the app on Asahi Linux running on an Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Max, 2021)

Here are relevant instructions (very closely mirrors what's mentioned in the README.md file):

# Installed node using nvm: 
$ node -v
v22.6.0

# install dependencies
$ sudo dnf install libsecret jq libsecret-devel make g++

# clone the anytype-ts repo and install node dependencies
$ git clone https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-ts
$ cd anytype-ts
# checkout to the latest release...in this case, I checked out to 0.42.4
$ git checkout tags/0.42.4 -b 0.42.4
$ npm install -D

# install middleware library and protobuf bindings
$ ./update.sh ubuntu-latest arm
$ mv linux-arm/anytypeHelper dist/

# build
$ npm run update:locale
$ npm run dist:linuxarm

The build fails with the following error message but the dist folder does have an Anytype-0.42.4-arm64.AppImage file that can be run.

I've also provided a build here: https://github.com/Abijeet/anytype-ts/releases/tag/v0.42.4 but I recommend building one from source yourself.

fpm-1.9.3-2.3.1-linux-x86/ Are you sure that terminal is working in correct environment, it's trying to use x86 binary.

I didn't spend too much time figuring out what's going on since the AppImage is created. I might debug some more later but looks like the command tries to build a deb package and that's where it fails.

I re-ran the command npm run dist:linuxarm again, and here's the full output:

$ npm run dist:linuxarm

Try to run it like this ELECTRON_SKIP_SENTRY=1 npm run dist:linuxarm to skip sentry hook.
And if you want to build only AppImage you can remove deb target from package.json

"linux": {
			"icon": "electron/img/icons",
			"category": "Utility",
			"target": [
				"AppImage",
				"deb",
				"rpm",
				"tar.gz"
			],

But I do not think it will build anything since it tries to use ruby for x86.
