BUG: Unable to build on ARM

[pktiuk]

Hello I tried to build this repo on ARM device (Nvidia Jetson) With Ubuntu 20.04 and I got:

user@tegra-ubuntu:~/gocryptfs$ ./build.bash
go: finding github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/v2 v2.5.0
go: downloading github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/v2 v2.5.0

I built it with commit: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/commit/f06f27e7bc098e334024c365004f9303e79997d9

When I switched to v2.3.2 building worked.

Huh. Does ./build-without-openssl.bash work?

Maybe your Go version is too old? All green here on Debian 11 and Go 1.21.4:

$ ./build.bash

@rfjakob

What is minimal required go version?
In my case I used golang-1.13 (the one used with Ubuntu 20.04)

[rfjakob]

Go 1.18

[pktiuk]

Then maybe it should be defined somewhere in the building scripts to check version during build to avoid confusion?

@rfjakob would you mind firing up AWS EC2 t4g instance, compiling the thing and putting the resulting binary into releases section please? update: it seems I'm running EL8 .. damn it.
