Build failing on `linux/arm64`

[kkrypt0nn]

When building for the platform linux/arm64 I am getting an error like the following:

  • Installing frontend dependencies: Done.
  • Compiling frontend: Done.

Thanks, AFAIK I did not prep the runner with cross-compile libs. However, since the action is starting to get bloated, I might move it into a Docker image as my project has open-source sponsorship from docker, so download limits are not an issue for people who use our images.

I'll think about it. Are you in a rush?

[kkrypt0nn]

Thanks for your response and the time you take for this :D

I have definitely no rush, so you can take the time you need

Thanks, no worries; Wails is a cool framework!

It won't be long; if you need it soon, id patch the significantly large action file, but I'm thinking of bringing my docker builder for C++ out of hiding to handle all my build needs, (including Wails/GoLang).

As a follow up, I had similar issues cross-compiling for Linux arm64 (not using this action) but I recently had success using a BuildJet drop-in runner.

I'm not affiliated with them at all but it helped me build my Wails app for arm64. It's not free but it's extremely cheap if you're not doing releases super often.

Please can you check the latest main version, dAppServer/wails-build-action@main,

I have upgraded it to be more helpful for people who clone the repo
There is now a demo project that uses the action test workflow.
Test are present for all runner images as of 07/02/2025 - Ubuntu: 20.04, 22.04, 24.04, Mac: 13, 14, 15 (none free images commented out), Win: 2019, 2022, 2025

All tests pass; please confirm your use case works before I commit V3.

Thanks :)

• i'll make an issue for linux/arm compiling as I've just got main to a stable point.

Heyo @leaanthony, this is an interesting bug https://github.com/dAppServer/wails-build-action/actions/runs/13206933601/job/36872172848

I thought you could compile linux/arm64 from amd64, but is that wrong? If it works on arm64, I might have to sort docker images VS a composite action after all
