Linux arm64 build plz

[feeeei]

Does github-action have an arm version of the build environment available?

Want support for the linux arm version~

Compiling yourself on GNU/Linux is very easy, you just have to follow the instructions here:
https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/build
Binaries are actually only needed for windows, where compiling is a bit difficult compared to GNU/Linux. Compiling for your device might give you a bit of extra performance too depending on which compiler you use, like github actions use GCC 9.3 which works, but is a bit old compared to GCC 11 for example. Also, try LLVM clang, it works better on some devices.

I know this, I just prefer to have the official binary package

That way, I could write a shell to automatically check for updates on a regular basis, without having to think about compiling

Updates don't come very often and compiling is easy, takes only around 1-2 minutes if you don't want to change anything to the source code. Having binaries would be nice too, but currently it is not possible on Github actions unless you use a self-hosted runner.

A similar question was asked over here and you can read it: actions/runner-images#2552

In short, ARM/ARM64 support in Github actions will probably be added when azure has ARM CPUs available, Currently, (unless I am missing something) Github actions does support ARM and ARM64 build but only on self-hosted runners.
