Very looking forward to the release of arm64 version.

@kenshaw after seeing our comment here https://github.com/xo/usql/issues/237#issuecomment-824908773 I started to wonder if this will not be easier to handle this with goreleaser[1]. Did you guys perform any tests about it?

Can I send a pull request? GoReleaser[1] will make it easier to automate the builds, docker images, and packages for multiple platforms.

WDYT?

Just wanted to express that it would be great to see ARM binaries both for macOS and Linux, not only one of them :)

[kenshaw]

@thomasaarholt Yes, looking into that now.

[col-panic]

same here - would be great to see native for arm :)

This would be an absolute lifesaver.

The issue mostly is that I don't personally have an ARM processor (other than a Mac M1) that I can run Linux on. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, I'm not able to setup Linux on the M1. I don't believe that GitHub provides ARM based Linux VMs on their Actions workflows. Cross-compiling, unfortunately, for a release is not possible, as I refuse to do a "release" without SQLite3 support. Is there a reason why a binary would be easier/more useful than just compiling from Go? It's fairly straightforward (and very easy!) to compile Go binaries, and make them available system wide.

I'll look into it. So far I only was able to confirm there's an issue with the current build.

Just a reference, there was an unsuccessful attempt on using goreleaser: https://github.com/xo/usql/pull/349 - looks like there are lots of issues with cross platform builds.
