What version of Go are you using (go version)?

Applies to both cross-compiling from an amd64 host as well as running on arm64 natively
go version go1.17 windows/amd64
go version go1.17 windows/arm64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

git clone https://github.com/dennisameling/git-lfs
git checkout windows-arm64
make GOOS=windows GOARCH=arm64 -B

What did you expect to see?

No error code (build succeeds without errors)

What did you see instead?

$ make GOOS=windows GOARCH=arm64 -B
go generate
GOOS= GOARCH= go generate github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/commands
GOOS=windows GOARCH=arm64 go build -ldflags="-X github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/config.GitCommit=8ba10b75 -s -w " -gcflags="all=-trimpath="$HOME" " -asmflags="all=-trimpath="$HOME"" -trimpath -o ./bin/git-lfs.exe

make: *** [Makefile:255: bin/git-lfs.exe] Error 2

Please note that I was able to reproduce this both on my amd64 and arm64 Windows machines, as well as in GitHub Actions (building for amd64 and 386 works without problems) https://github.com/dennisameling/git-lfs/runs/3350555869?check_suite_focus=true. I'm happy to provide more details/logs if needed. Thanks in advance!

FWIW: building on OSX arm64 doesn't error

This looks like maybe a linker issue to me? CC @cherrymui @thanm

It seems the error is from loading a native object file. Do you have a native object file (like a .syso file) in your build? If so, what does it contain? We currently do not support internal linking on Windows/ARM64, so it doesn't really support linking against a native object. Depending on the specific case, it might be possible to add some limited support.

If you build natively (or have a C cross toolchain available), could you try adding -ldflags=-linkmode=external to use external linking?

It appears that this project is using

https://github.com/josephspurrier/goversioninfo

which is (according to the comments) based largely on

https://github.com/akavel/rsrc

however from looking at

#42866 (comment)

the best practice is to use LLVM windres (see also comments in https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/268337 )

Thank you very much for your help. I had a look at https://github.com/josephspurrier/goversioninfo - turns out they added ARM(64) support a few days ago, which has to be activated manually with a flag:

//go:generate goversioninfo -arm=true

After doing that, I was able to build for Windows arm64 successfully 🎉

.\git-lfs.exe
git-lfs/2.13.0 (GitHub; windows arm64; go 1.17)

Sorry for having bothered you with this - really appreciate your help @cherrymui @thanm!
