Describe your issue

I have built the ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc-cross image with cross-toolchains. Here is the output of the image build:

Here is the screenshot from docker desktop:

and the Cross.toml:

image = "ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc-cross:local"

For the first time I used cross build --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc it errored out with 125 and this output:

Afterwards I restarted the docker desktop, and now everytime I run cross build --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc it gives no output but errors out with 53 error number and a target directory with just a CACHEDIR.TAG file.

The first problem you describe is an issue with compat between docker-desktop and buildx. There's an option in docker-desktop for macos that has caused issues previously for other people (although it has worked for me), "Use containerd for pulling and storing images"

Should be solved by building with CROSS_BUILD_OPTS="--output=type=docker".

For the second issue, I require some more information. Can you post the output together with adding -v to the command?

This was already disabled by default, did you meant to enable it?

Here is the output of that command, I don't know why it is inquiring rustup about stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu target.

Thanks for the fast reply!

[Emilgardis]

the toolchain x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is what is used to compile for the chosen target.

note: I only suggested CROSS_BUILD_OPTS="--output=type=docker" for build-docker-image

But back to the issue.
There's literally no output? very strange, what happens if you do cross-util run -i -v --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc -- bash

It just prints these outputs and exits successfully. 😕

Do I need to build the image again? 😢

Thanks!

[Emilgardis]

is your docker working?

try docker run -it ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc-cross:local and docker run -it ubuntu:20.04

[mominul]

docker run -it ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc-cross:local exits with the same 53 error no and gives a warning:

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

While passing --platform linux/amd64 to the arguments eliminates the warning, it still errors with error no 53 without any output.

My docker is working as it can run the ubuntu:20.04 image interactively:

mominul@Muhammads-MacBook-Air ~ [53]> docker run -it ubuntu:20.04

I'm also running into the exact same issue, same output and everything. Did you ever figure this out @mominul?

Unfortunately no, I have deleted the docker image and now using a VM to run Windows 😞

[MarijnS95]

Is this issue perhaps the reason why aarch64-pc-windows-msvc is not available by default in cargo-cross?

Even after installing the latest from-source version with cargo install cross --git https://github.com/cross-rs/cross (commit a6cffa0), cargo-cross says it doesn't have a docker image for this target yet (we're running this on a Windows x86_64 GitHub actions machine):

$ cross build --target=aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
[cross] warning: `cross` does not provide a Docker image for target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc, specify a custom image in `Cross.toml`.
[cross] error: Errors encountered before cross compilation, aborting.
[cross] note: Disable this with `CROSS_NO_WARNINGS=0`

EDIT: I don't see it listed in the published packages either: https://github.com/orgs/cross-rs/packages?tab=packages&q=aarch64

Is that why the OP is manually building the image?

EDIT2: This target doesn't seem to be noted in https://github.com/cross-rs/cross?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-targets, and only carries this off-hand note:

Additional Dockerfiles for other targets can be found in cross-toolchains. These include MSVC and Apple Darwin targets, which we cannot ship pre-built images of.

It seems that building manually is expected? Perhaps the warning should link to this, and the note should be more explicitly specified (perhaps by having some common targets spelled out in full)?

EDIT3: This also seems to be mentioned at cross-rs/cross-toolchains#32.

EDIT4: I misunderstood. As it turns out this is a Linux Docker image that is set up to cross-compile to MSVC, rather than running the tests natively (and emulating the architecture) on Windows: #1672 (comment)
