@probonopd Do you know why exporting NAME in this PR didn't work?

[StanleySweet]

Have you tried build other arches like aarch64 or powerpc64le?

Not yet. It doesn't look like other arches are available on GitHub runners https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners

@StanleySweet Though it could be done easily enough with a github self-hosted runner.

https://amperecomputing.com/blogs/2022-07-21/adding-aarch64-to-your-github-ci-with-github-actions-and-ampere-altra.html

Are there any WFG servers that have those architectures?

[StanleySweet]

Unfortunately, we do not. There is only one server on good old x64

@StanleySweet I think it could be done with the docker qemu action

[andy5995]

@StanleySweet Locally, if you run docker run --rm --privileged tonistiigi/binfmt --install all (https://github.com/tonistiigi/binfmt)

Then you can get an arm64 image, for example, docker run -it --rm --platform arm64 ubuntu:jammy

Will get you an arm64 image...

[StanleySweet]

Interesting. Sorry I didn't make any progress on getting this on the CI....

[andy5995]

@StanleySweet No worries. If it becomes a problem for me to maintain, I'll just pause.

If you want to take a shortcut, you can just clone this repo onto one of your servers that has docker installed, and then run `./make-appimage.sh'. It'll spit out a nice official AppImage for you. :) The brief instructions are on the README.

Alternatively, you can click the "use this template" button near the top of the repo. That will give you a "detached" fork, and then it's all yours to do with as you please.

I am close to trying a build on arm64 and arm/v7 in #26 but I may only try with the next official pre-release of 0ad, because I've had too much trouble getting a26 to build with Ubuntu Focal.

[andy5995]

Closed, obsolete PR.

@StanleySweet Once the amd64 build completes successfully in #26 (comment), I can add 'arm64' to the workflow matrix
