# Instructions for running cross to test release builds locally
## Prerequisites
Before start, check the comments in `Cross.toml` to turn on some commented configs for the target you want to build.
## Targets
### aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
#### Build release
```sh
CROSS_BUILD_OPTS="--platform linux/amd64 --no-cache" CROSS_CONTAINER_OPTS="--platform linux/amd64" cross build --release --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
` ``
#### Inspect container created by cross for debugging
` ``sh
docker run --platform linux/amd64 -it <image-id> /bin/bash
` ``
#### Testing the binary
1. Download docker image for testing environment
` ``sh
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes
docker pull arm64v8/ubuntu
` ``
2. Run the container
2025-02-17 20:02:40 +01:00
pwd is the directory which contains the binary built in the previous step on your host machine
2025-01-24 13:04:43 -08:00
` ``sh
2025-06-04 09:45:43 +10:00
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -it --platform linux/arm64 arm64v8/ubuntu /bin/bash
2025-01-24 13:04:43 -08:00
` ``
3. Install dependencies in the container and set up api testing environment
` ``sh
apt update
apt install libxcb1 libxcb1-dev libdbus-1-3 nvi
mkdir -p ~/.config/goose
# create goose config file
# set api key env variable
` ``
### x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
#### Build release
` ``sh
CROSS_BUILD_OPTS="--platform linux/amd64 --no-cache" CROSS_CONTAINER_OPTS="--platform linux/amd64" cross build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
` ``
#### inspect container created by cross for debugging
` ``sh
docker run --platform linux/amd64 -it <image-id> /bin/bash
` ``
#### Testing the binary
1. Download docker image for testing environment
` ``sh
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes
docker pull --platform linux/amd64 debian:latest
` ``
2. Run the container
pwd is the directory contains the binary built in the previous step on your host machine
` ``sh
2025-06-04 09:45:43 +10:00
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -it --platform linux/amd64 ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
2025-01-24 13:04:43 -08:00
` ``
3. Install dependencies in the container and set up api testing environment
` ``sh
apt update
apt install libxcb1 libxcb1-dev libdbus-1-3 nvi
mkdir -p ~/.config/goose
# create goose config file
# set api key env variable
` ``
### aarch64-apple-darwin
#### build release
` ``sh
cross build --release --target aarch64-apple-darwin
` ``
There is no docker image available for aarch64-apple-darwin. It will fall back to your host machine for building the binary if your host machine matches.
#### testing the build
If the binary is signed with a certificate, run
` ``sh
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine goose
` ```
### x86_64-apple-darwin
#### build release
` ``sh
cross build --release --target x86_64-apple-darwin
` ``
There is no docker image available for x86_64-apple-darwin. It will fall back to your host machine for building the binary if your host machine matches.
#### testing the build
1. If the binary is signed with a certificate, run
` ``sh
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine goose
` ```
2. If you are on Apple Silicon (ARM), you can use Rosetta to test the binary
` ``sh
softwareupdate --install-rosetta # make sure Rosetta 2 is installed
` ``
` ``sh
arch -x86_64 ./goose help
