add ARM releases

[theRealWardo]

in https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc/issues/457 support for ARM was verified and indeed this package compiles for me on Apple silicon without a problem.

however, this project's releases do not include builds for darwin_arm64 nor linux_arm64. how can I help get those added for this project?

(ps. I'd file this as a like feature request or something but the only template I see is a bug report)

[kyleconroy]

I don't think this is currently possible. Release binaries are built using GitHub Actions. Until they support M1 machines, darwin_arm is off the table. I'm not sure about Linux ARM.

I too would be very grateful if arm64 release is provided. 👍

k0kubun/sqldef is also written in Golang and it builds binaries including arm64 for both darwin and linux using GitHub Actions then publishes them to its GitHub Releases.

• Execute make package at GitHub Actions here
• Definition of make package

I hope it helps.

The issue here is that sqlc depends on a few packages that use cgo, which makes cross-compiling difficult. Thankfully, I'm the new owner of an M1 MacBook, so I can build the darwin_arm64 targets locally. I'll need to create a self-hosted runner to package up and build the Linux ARM binaries.

This would be wonderful to have!

Considering the release doesn't happen too frequently, I would appreciate it if the release also included a manually built artifact for darwin-arm64.

I just manually edit the release for my projects and add binaries that cannot be built via OSS CI systems until we have an actual solution.

still not see arm release in v1.15.0

[kyleconroy]

Took a bit longer than expected, but ARM releases have been added for Darwin for 1.16.0.

https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc/releases/download/v1.16.0/sqlc_1.16.0_darwin_arm64.tar.gz

[kyleconroy]

Looks like there was an issue with signing the releases for v1.16.0, removing them for now

[kyleconroy]

Okay, all fixed now. I also automated the process so we'll have darwin_arm64 releases going forward.

Do people also need ARM releases for Linux?

[kyleconroy]

Linux ARM binaries have been added for the last two releases, v1.17.2 and v1.18.0. They're also available via https://downloads.sqlc.dev:

https://downloads.sqlc.dev/sqlc_1.17.2_linux_arm64.tar.gz https://downloads.sqlc.dev/sqlc_1.18.0_linux_arm64.tar.gz
