so we can use the powershell command to easily install golang on arm64 Windows desktops.

if you turn off this https://github.com/kevincobain2000/gobrew/blob/master/.goreleaser.yaml#L20, then I can test it on windows 11 arm64 ...

also add arm64 here: https://github.com/kevincobain2000/gobrew/blob/master/git.io.ps1#L33

Thanks. I am totally clueless when it comes to windows. And could never understand why would someone not use wsl.

I’d have to take your word for it. And if the new changes don’t impact current Unix based systems then it’s ok. Feel free to submit the desired changes for windows only.

I will have to fork and test the whole CI / CD thing to make sure it works without creating any regressions.

If you get time have a crack at it. It's only 3 or 4 lines changes. Otherwise I will fork and try the whole cycle.

wsl

Some users just can't because of architectural constraints on their desktops in certain Orgs where they lock down their desktops.

I use gobrew to get golang onto end users desktops so that other code can use it for dynamic compilation

[kevincobain2000]

That’s sad. anyways you can fork and push your changes. This repo runs the ci on forks too. Feel free to commit many times.

[gedw99]

Ok that makes it easier . I did not want to presume. Will give it a try. Will take a few tries I expect

hey @kevincobain2000

$archMap = @{
    "amd64" = "x86_64", "i386_64"
    "386"   = "i386", "i686", "x86"    
  }

I have no idea what are the names for the extra mapping that we need to add to represent Windows arm 64. I am hoping you might know ?

[gedw99]

https://go.dev/doc/install shows that there are no golang builds for windows arm64.

so even if I get this issue working there are no golang builds that it can map to and download.

I was wrong. There are golang installers for windows arm64. I tried it and it works fine.

That GOOS and GOARCH is just not what they call a First Class one.

@kevincobain2000

could we reopen this please ? Go installers do exist as I pointed out above.

[gedw99]

also https://github.com/kevincobain2000/gobrew/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml can't be triggered by me, to see if the build worked for Windows ARM64 ?

[kevincobain2000]

Those will only work when @juev or me push new tag

[gedw99]

other can force an action too using dispatch workflow, but you need to add this to the workflows.
