Interesting - I'd assume cross-compilation would work on ubuntu-latest. Does build fail on it?

yea, i naively assumed ubuntu had support to arch but doesn't look it does yet

thinking about use something similar to this https://github.com/PMLS3/tauri-linux/blob/1992beef67640f2c843781bbb280f73116ad44c3/flows/arm.yml#L9

It seems the builds for linux are stalled on this PR. I'm thinking this may be the cause for it, given ubunt-24.05-arm doesn't seem to be one of GH's default runners -

Yeah, this should work. I'll try cross-compiling to ARM on an ubuntu box I have around and see what happens. Maybe it's just a matter of ensuring a few deps are installed.

I didn't manage to build the project, but managed to figure some bits out. There's a dependency that needs the GCC compiler, so the compiler for aarch64 needs to be installed:
sudo apt install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
Then
export RUSTFLAGS="-C linker=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc"
cargo build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
But still fails

@andreban if this is something you would like take to help i would glad let you take over 😂🫡
TBH, I likely won't have bandwidth to do it (work trip coming soon)

I see, I will give another try after finish the split work. I think I got carried over 😆 (i thought i would finish this PR in 10-20min but it looks would need further investigation)
have a good time in your work trip <3

Correct, the default GitHub runners doesn't provide an ARM ubuntu specific version. You need to either run & register your own runner (hosted on your own infra), or as proposed above cross-compile to ARM platform using x86. Or use Docker images.
EDIT: Only MacOS arm runners are available apparently: https://github.com/actions/runner-images
