@johnoel Just tested the build workflow (branch with changes - admb-13.2-pre-test), it seems like the windows image is building but mac and linux are not. What I'm getting from the failed workflow is:

Status: Downloaded newer image for johnoel/admb-13.2:linux
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/arm64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/amd64/v3) and no specific platform was requested
exec /usr/local/bin/admb: exec format error

[johnoel]

Okay, I will redo the linux docker images.

[johnoel]

Updated docker images, please try again and let me know.

[e-perl-NOAA]

@johnoel the docker images are now working on GitHub actions. Haven't had a chance to test admb locally with or without the docker image yet (need to get IT to enter admin privileges again). Will do that early next week.

[johnoel]

Okay, can you test using admb-13.2:linux-arm64 on the MacOS builds?

[e-perl-NOAA]

There is the following warning on the MacOS build:
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/arm64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/amd64/v3) and no specific platform was requested
though it looks it might have still built...the action is still spinning and might be stuck somewhere. I'll give it a little while longer to sort itself out and then I'm going to stop it so that it doesn't use up all of our action minutes.

[e-perl-NOAA]

@johnoel I had to stop the action to build the ss3 MacOS image because it was spinning and spinning but not making any progress.

[johnoel]

Thank you for testing, I will just delete the admb-13.2:linux-arm64 image.

[e-perl-NOAA]

@johnoel have you tried using the admb docker image with macos-14 (macos-latest in github actions is macos-12)? I was trying to do some debugging on an ss3 issue that a mac user ran into with macos-14 but when I tried to build ss3 on that OS I get an error from the action (link to action output error). It looks like this is a docker issue and I searched around on the internet for various solutions but haven't found any that have worked.

[johnoel]

Shoots, i just deleted the admb-13.2:linux-arm64 image. I will rebuild and upload tomorrow.
