Support for ARM64 version
It looks like rust-cross can help with cross-compiling for ARM — the next time I make a new release I’ll see what I can do.
I'm was looking for a version to run on my RBPi 3B+.
I boot up a Ubuntu Docker Image(docker run -it ubuntu /bin/bash) and run:
apt update
apt install -y git curl gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
pushd /usr/local/src && git clone https://github.com/ogham/exa.git && popd
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
export PATH=$PATH:/root/.cargo/bin
rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
cat >>/root/.cargo/config <<EOF
[target.armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf]
linker = "arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc"
EOF
cd /usr/local/src/exa
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features "default" --target=armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
The binary will be in target/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release folder:
$ file target/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/exa
target/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/exa: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=071f9344646fa0987b828ef0d22dc6a6938c119a, with debug_info, not stripped
Hope it helps.
Came here looking for an ARM release for the Pinebook Pro. I'll try compiling it tomorrow.
Easier method using @messense docker images for cross compiling:
# Clone exa
cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/ogham/exa.git && cd exa
# Build using Cocker
docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src \
messense/rust-musl-cross:armv7-musleabihf \
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features "default"
@0x3333 I just tried that on my RasPi and got this:
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src \
> messense/rust-musl-cross:armv7-musleabihf \
> cargo build --release --no-default-features --features "default"

Any idea what's going here?
Has anybody got a static binary compiled on ARM that they could share?
@eggbean, my command is to cross-compile exa for Pi on an x86 machine... I just run it and it worked flawless.

@eggbean if you're looking for an armhf binary, it is actually available in debian repositories, although the version that they have is 0.8.0-2. For arm64 I had to compile it myself. I did it on a target machine and it worked, but I forgot to save the deb package that I made with cargo deb I can still upload the exa binary directly from my path if you (or anyone else) need/s it, but you may need to resolve some dependencies.
@ickam Cross-compiling it using the method 0x3333 explained worked fine. Cheers.
@ickam When I tired compiling using cargo on an aarm64 AWS graviton cloud instance it ended with this error.

Does anybody know how to deal with this or have a compiled arm64 binary of the latest version of exa?

You’re using a version of Rust that is too old (it’s been added in 1.45.0).
I tried cross-compiling using the method with the docker containers mentioned earlier and got this error:
See https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/887 for compilation problems on ARM.
Perhaps the build system from these rust packages could help:
- has arm64 builds among usual
- https://github.com/sharkdp/bat
- https://github.com/dandavison/delta
- https://github.com/bootandy/dust
- https://github.com/sharkdp/fd
- https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine
- https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei
- has arm64 and apple silicon builds among usual
- https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide
I think I’m gonna merge my fix for arm architectures and see later for the CI, thanks for the references, this will help immensely to learn how to use GitHub Actions properly for that!
Microsoft has a cross-platform builder for ripgrep, maybe that will be helpful:
https://github.com/microsoft/ripgrep-prebuilt
exa already supports ARM64, you need to built it yourself from master tho.
Or, since exa is unmaintained (see https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/1243), try the the active fork eza instead.
I’ve «saved» the link with other projects building executable by posting it there: https://github.com/orgs/eza-community/discussions/186#discussioncomment-6949239
