Parcel • Continuous Integration • Native Binary Builds

Parcel relies on a few native artifacts that need to be built for multiple target platforms and architectures.

To support this, there are a number of different runner jobs running on different images/os:

• macos-latest is used for arm / x86 builds of the macOS targets
• windows-latest is used for windows builds
• linux builds
  • Debian bookworm is used for x86 builds
  • Ubuntu 20.04 is used for armhf 32-bit, arm64
  • What looks like Alpine linux in napi-rs/napi-rs/nodejs-rust is used for MUSL x86 64-bit and MUSL arm64

Testing builds locally

We can use act to test CI jobs locally:

• Install the GitHub CLI
• Install act - gh extension install https://github.com/nektos/gh-act

Run the desired GitHub actions job:

gh act --input profile=release --job "build-linux-gnu-x64"

GLIBC Versions

• x86 builds rely on minimum GLIBC 2.31 in Debian 11 - bullseye https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libc6
