Provide Linux ARM builds #57

Similar to #35

Will look into this, not immediately sure how to cross-compile and my first attempt failed.

spieglt commented 10 months ago

According to https://tauri.app/v1/guides/building/cross-platform/, "Tauri relies heavily on native libraries and toolchains, so meaningful cross-compilation is not possible at the current moment." Will try a Raspberry Pi at some point.

Tried compiling on a Raspberry Pi last night, but I think it ran out of memory as it was compiling tauri-cli. I don't own another ARM Linux machine unfortunately. GitHub Actions is x86_64-only so that's not an option, and I don't really want to set that up for this project anyway. QEMU was too complicated. I got a version to compile on a cloud Ubuntu instance, but this might be too inconvenient to do for every version unless someone has a better idea. I also can't test it so please try it and let me know.

Had to run roughly:

cargo install tauri-cli
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libgdk3.0-cil libgio2.0-cil-dev libgio libgio-cil librust-gio-sys-dev libgdk3.0-cil-dev librust-gdk-sys-dev libsoup2.4-cil-dev libsoup2.4-cil libsoup2.4-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev librsvg2-dev

Thank you for tending my issue so quickly! I apologize for the hassle.

It runs (at least on Fedora 39 Asahi Linux Remix), however I can’t confirm file transfer works right now (probably iOS shenanigans)

I tried compiling this myself, however wasn’t able to figure out dependencies, so further documentation on dependencies probably would be helpful (maybe separate issue)

spieglt commented 10 months ago

Unfortunately I don't have the time or resources to test or document much more than I've done already. There's a lot of trial and error any time I have to compile on a new Linux system and dependency situations seem to change frequently, so while I'm willing to help troubleshoot when I can, I'll have to leave much of the work to the users if the main releases don't fit their use cases.
