How can i build an aarch64 version

[hsinor]

I only find release version of x86_64 and i686. I want build a AppImage for aarch64, what should i do?

[lucasfernog]

I'm also interested in this. Can we change the workflow to do it?

[lucasfernog]

Would be closed by #189

[TheAssassin]

#189 has never seen a reaction to the change requests, though.

Since I also need ARM binaries soon, I'll probably pick up that PR and improve it in the next weeks.

[lucasfernog]

Thanks!

@TheAssassin Any update on this?

[K4CZP3R]

Bump, any update?

[K4CZP3R]

I was able to create docker image containing linuxdeploy which works on arm64: https://github.com/K4CZP3R/linuxdeploy-tauri-arm64

[GentleGhostCoder]

Cool, thanks, I'll test it right away :D

[dcarr45]

@K4CZP3R very new to this so my apologies, but I've produced the squashfs-root that's the output of the last RUN command in your Dockerfile sequence and I've been banging my head against the wall trying to produce the equivalent of linuxdeploy-aarch64.AppImage (the one that's not currently distributed).

I assume all the files I need are there in /executables of the resultant Docker container, but if you get a chance could you please clarify how one would produce the executable that'd match the usage of linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage? I'm trying to replace the missing arm64 executable that'd be called in this bundler script used by Tauri

I had some success just following the linuxdeploy:ci/build.sh and linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage:ci/build-appimage.sh in an arm64 Docker container - it got a little hairy due to the apparent circular dependency between those two builds where they each download the latest version of the other, but I was able to produce what appears to be a usable linuxdeploy-aarch64.AppImage

@dcarr45 Can you provide the build instructions that worked for you?

[yusiwen]

Any updates? Need arm64/aarch64 badly

[neildavis]

Offering potential help on this for armhf & aarch64. See my comment on #189

[TheAssassin]

Just for the record, an ARM version is on the way. I'm just fiddling with the build process, but it's working locally already.

[TheAssassin]

Build is working now. I need to clean the branch up and merge it into the main branch. I should be able to do it tonight.

[TheAssassin]

It's done. Binaries are available. Feedback welcome!

@TheAssassin Thanks for completing this! I am finally getting around to trying it. I'm having a spot of trouble though.

./linuxdeploy-aarch64.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I seem to recall an issue where you mentioned using sed to change a few bytes, which worked in another case for me, but I can't find it.

I'm trying it with a Dockerfile. Here's the workflow output

https://github.com/netpanzer/netpanzer/actions/runs/7499142351/job/20415397490#step:8:435

The actual workflow/yml file

And the Dockerfile

Of the 4 jobs in the workflow, the focal amd64 job is completing, and the two Jammy jobs (arm64 and amd64) don't use linuxdeploy (so those 2 are completing).

Found it. I also found the the dd method you mentioned in another ticket here.

I believe this is fixed in netpanzer/netpanzer@241a664
