Hello i'm using mac m1 and i'm trying to build for all architectures:
Mac:
M1 Silicon
Intel
Windows:
Intel x64
amd x64
Linux:
armv6
armv7
Intel x64
amd x64
currently manage to do it for m1 only reading this from the docs:
t will detect your operating system and build a bundle accordingly. It currently supports:
how ever i'm not able to build for windows r linux, any ideas? Thanks a lot!
tiny bison
Intel x64
amd x64
These are the same targets, did you mean x64 and arm64?
also, you won't get around VMs, at least for Linux
For windows there's this https://tauri.app/v1/guides/building/cross-platform#experimental-build-windows-apps-on-linux-and-macos but i only tested it for x64
tiny bison
also, you won't get around VMs, at least for Linux
or CI like github actions as recommended in the docs
also not 1quite sure but i think linux+armv6 isn't possible, only armv7 (you'll see distros like debian and ubuntu call it armhf)
dapper bobcat
o wow thanks for the feedback
will try
my point is to build something that is runnable on mac m1/intel, windows and linux
dapper bobcat
Hey bro, i have managed to create this:
is it possible somehow to download releases and test them
tiny bison
did you use tauri-action?
If so, then on the /releases page there should now be a new (draft?) release containing the assets
dapper bobcat
yes github action bro! Found em in /releases you are awesome bro
dapper bobcat
hey bro just 1 last thing in case if you know about it:
so on mac is ✅
on windows is ✅
on linux - when i try to run the .deb file nothing happens, do i need to compile in linux explicitly as on the screenshot above everything looks fine
tiny bison
the .deb is an installer so you run i think it was dpkg -i myapp.deb and then start the installed app (debian/ubuntu and derivatives only of course)
sorry if that was obvious, just want to make sure
did you also test the .appimage?
dapper bobcat
Hey bro, yes i manage to run it with dpkg -i myapp.deb but only after i builded on Linux, i wasn't able to run the one that is from here #1113771029303676928 message
I didnt try with the AppImage tho :D, do you think is possible to have build for linux from the Release bundle
tiny bison
What's the version of the system you checked it on?
dapper bobcat
Ubuntu 22.04
tiny bison
hmm
did you start it by clicking on the icon or from running it in the console?
(can you try running it from the console? Maybe it gives us errors)
dapper bobcat
yeah, so i download .deb and then double click it - nothing happens
with console execution dpkg -i myapp.deb sec let me try again
this is what i see if i double click it
on this file
let me try with dpkg -i myapp.deb
tiny bison
yeah, i meant double clicking on the installed app, .deb is just an installer, not the app itself
tiny bison
lemme explain what i'm asking you to do:
dpkg -i tauri-app.debtauri-app in the terminal afterwards (adjust to the name of your app) -> Check if it starts the app
dapper bobcat
yeah it runns but i'm not sure because i have 2 version now 1 of the local build and 1 of releases let me check more about it
yeah is working
no problem
tauri-app - starts the app can confirm
is there something special that i need to install .deb files by double clicking it?
tiny bison
There are a few apps that can do this like Eddy
but the "standard" is to install them via the cli
or not at all and pull them from the repos/ppa directly
tiny bison
There are a few apps that can do this like `Eddy`
actually not sure if it enables double-click support too or just a file picker 🤔
Some app stores, like Ubuntu Software should also support double-click but from my testing that seemingly never works 
tldr: Don't expect your users to be able to double click on the .deb
dapper bobcat
gotcha bro
