ARM support

[kevinvdburgt]

Are you able to also release ARM platform binaries?

[fboulnois]

Cross-compilation is a bit of a pain. It should be pretty easy to generate the ARM platform binaries on your own using the accompanying Dockerfile though.

[kevinvdburgt]

It should be easier using GitHub workflows to build those binaries for various platforms. However, using the dockerfile on the platform works fine too :-)

If you want, I could submit a PR for the workflow.

Works on M2 fine.

[kevinvdburgt]

@x4m Any change you're running it with Rosetta? If not, how do you run PG on the M2?

[x4m]

@kevinvdburgt
git clone --depth=5 --single-branch --branch=master https://github.com/postgres/postgres
cd postgres
./configure --prefix=$PWD --enable-depend
make -j10 > /dev/null
make check

I have a video about compiling Postgres on your machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rihfAnd_leM

[x4m]

to run this extensions you will need few more commands
make install # install postgres from sources
cd contrib
git clone https://github.com/fboulnois/pg_uuidv7
cd pg_uuidv7
make install
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/bin # this will export pg_config
make install

@x4m ah, this issue isn't about compiling but the prebuild binaries in the releases 😁

[x4m]

What's the point in releasing binaries? there is an infinite number of OS+Arch combinations...

[kevinvdburgt]

It's fine for me and my team as we host our own binaries for now. We would like to prevent that members have to install all sorts of build tools.

have you thought about using dockerx to make the build in github and extract the outcome from the images?
