Is building on aarch64 supported?

[thomasmarkiewicz]

I am running into an "Architecture Error" while trying to build a simple React Tauri app on Librem 5 (aarch64). Setting up of all tooling up to this point worked, but I get an error when running the final build. Does tauri support running on aarch64?

this is something that we expected to happen, but we will have to update the bundler to properly detect it.

can you paste the results of yarn tauri info?

Is this feature branch a viable alternative?

feat(tauri) add cross support #491

It looks very straight-forward. Is there a reason that it hasn't been merged other than developer time?

[jbolda]

I believe @lucasfernog was dealing with code signing on Mac first which kind of stalled, but don't quote me on that 😊

[nothingismagick]

This is an important issue, for sure, and would need to be addressed inside of our bundler. I think it is really a matter of our detection of the platform. We have been discussing using cross for armhf (rpi), so i think we should definitely spend some time on making sure that our workflow is also able to cross compile for Librem.

[vinicentus]

Is there any update on this? I see that #1664 has been merged.
I would also need aarch64 support for a project...

[nothingismagick]

Yes, we have a dedicated discord channel for this topic, where we are working on getting this all to work on RPi.

Does this discord channel still exist? I can't open it.

I am trying to make Tauri works on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I can't make it works.
Should I be able to make Tauri work on a Raspberry Pi?

[MariusVB]

Trying to make Tauri work on Raspberry Pi 4 B. Also not working.
Getting this error code when installing the Rust tauri-cli through npm:

And getting this when installing directly through cargo:

@MariusVB
Tracking issue for the first one: #2421
solution for the second one: #3050 (cargo install tauri-cli --git https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri)

[FabianLars]

@damien-monni The channel (and message) does still exist (#arm-platform), but linking discord messages externally sometimes doesn't want to work for everyone (especially if you're not logged in or not a server member)

[MariusVB]

@FabianLars that was fast! Thank you lots. Trying the cargo install right now.

Was there any update to this?

I was able to build successfully using this project. It utilizes a docker container.

After attempting to install the deb file, it produces this error
