Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/1148

Describe the bug
The binary CI job is failing when attempting to link to the colpetto crate. This occurs indifr the GH Actions Runner at least, when compiling under Cross on both x86_64 and ARM64.

It's currently unknown whether the build succeeds when run outside of CI; further investigation is needed.

@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2025):

Testing shows this is due to Cross using Ubuntu 20.02 images, which ships neolithic package versions. Trying to use a custom image and get cross-compilation working, and trying to build a newer libinput version are both painful, so waiting for this:

To add some context: this issue is pretty much not ironbar fault but cross shipping a nearly 6 years old version of libinput. Colpetto's libinput support was originally based on Debian 12, which was the stable release at that time.

I think cross is more pain than what it is worth. I vote for ditching cross and only outputting x86_64 binary for now.

This and this are probably relevant for a new approach with the latest packages on arm.

[This](https://github.blog/changelog/2024-09-25-actions-new-images-and-ubuntu-latest-changes/) and [this](https://github.blog/changelog/2024-06-24-github-actions-ubuntu-24-04-image-now-available-for-arm64-runners/) are probably relevant for a new approach with the latest packages on arm.

If there's arm images available. Can't we just ditch cross in favor of having a build action happen on the arm images?

Oh neat, I didn't know about those. Sounds easy enough to test...

Well that worked for x64 at least. The ARM runner seems to be a single RPi running on somebody's desk, judging by the queue times, so we'll see about that later I guess

Relevant: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/148648#discussioncomment-11858287. Try ubuntu-24.04-arm.
FWIW: I was working on a way to cross compile without cross - may be a backup if native arm64 image does not work.

You'd think that if you provided an invalid runner name, it'd do something intelligent like tell you that, and not sit there indefinitely.

I've updated the Docker image to support ARM64, and updated the binary job to run on both platforms, and that's got it. Binaries are now available on the latest release for both platforms.

I'll work to clear up Cross now that it's no longer required.

Cheers both
