Please provide static build for windows-arm64, linux-arm64, darwin-x86

Describe the solution you'd like

Additional context

I am developing x-cmd. It would be nice to have 'x tcping' so user can use tcping without installation in (mac, win, linux) x (arm64, x86) ~

Later, x-cmd will support (openbsd, freebsd, netbsd) ~

Thank you.

Hi,

Sure, will include those as well.

Hello there,

In #245 I'm rewriting the Makefile, which will make it convenient to add new targets. So I've been asked to accommodate your requests.

Just want to double check with you though, by darwin-x86, are you absolutely sure you mean 32-bit Intel MacOS? As far as I can tell, these Macs were only made for a very brief period of time back in 2006 or something. I am hesitant to add support for such an old and obscure target without a very compelling reason.

Hi ~ Thank you !
No, we just need arm64 and amd64 for macOs.

My apologies, I made a mistake in my description. I will correct the issue title immediately.

[cyqsimon]

Yep no worries!

[pouriyajamshidi]

Thank you both @cyqsimon and @edwinjhlee.

The requested binaries are now uploaded in https://github.com/pouriyajamshidi/tcping/releases/tag/v2.6.0

[edwinjhlee]

Can you provide more build for other system/arch ?

Like this: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/releases/tag/v0.55.0

Currently, x-cmd pkg is not providing tools to openbsd/freebsd/netbsd ~ But x-cmd script code can run on bsd series OS ~~ In the near future we would like to introduce pkgs for *bsd ~

I assume that tcping can run across all mainstream platform (*bsd, linux, win, mac) x (arm64, x64) ~

[edwinjhlee]

I am novice user in bsd. I have set up some bsd vm ( freebsd, openbsd ). I can help testing tcping on bsd ~

[edwinjhlee]

I found these bsd artifcats and darwin-x64 and win-amd64 are already created in the Makefile. Will they be uploaded ? @pouriyajamshidi

[pouriyajamshidi]

@edwinjhlee yes, I will put them up. But not all of them just yet, because I need to change some details in the README file first since this will mess with the way download links are provided.

Hi, @pouriyajamshidi

We add tcping in x-cmd pkg: https://x-cmd.com/pkg/tcping

While developing a shell wrapper to visualize ping output, I discovered I could also perform TCP pings using curl. So I wrote tping module in x-cmd. The introduction and code is here: https://x-cmd.com/mod/tping

However, currently this approach has limitations. Out of performance consideration, tcping is the best option.

I'm curious if there are any plans/roadmap to implement visualization features directly within tcping. I'm hesitant to introduce visualization through a shell wrapper ( just like what we have achieved in ping module -- https://www.x-cmd.com/mod/ping ), as this might conflict with future tcping development.

[pouriyajamshidi]

Hi @edwinjhlee

Thanks for adding tcping there! I will try to remember to add it in the README file as well (PRs are welcome :D).

I had a look at tping as well, looks pretty fancy and cool.

In terms of adding visualization to tcping, maybe some time down the line but I rather address the open issues first.

sadly, tcping and my other open source projects get a fraction of my free time (weekends, evenings, etc) and these days I get less of those. So, gotta be very smart how and where I spend them on.
