# Fyne Cross
[](https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross/actions?query=workflow%3ACI) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross) [](http://godoc.org/github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross) []()
fyne-cross is a simple tool to cross compile and create distribution packages
for [Fyne](https://fyne.io) applications using docker images that include Linux,
the MinGW compiler for Windows, FreeBSD, and a macOS SDK, along with the Fyne
requirements.
Supported targets are:
- darwin/amd64
- darwin/arm64
- freebsd/amd64
- freebsd/arm64
- linux/amd64
- linux/386
- linux/arm
- linux/arm64
- windows/amd64
- windows/arm64
- windows/386
- android ([multiple architectures](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis))
- android/386
- android/amd64
- android/arm
- android/arm64
- ios
> Note:
> - iOS compilation is supported only on darwin hosts. See [fyne pre-requisites](https://developer.fyne.io/started/#prerequisites) for details.
> - macOS packaging for public distribution (release mode) is supported only on darwin hosts.
> - windows packaging for public distribution (release mode) is supported only on windows hosts.
> - starting from v1.1.0:
> - cross-compile from NOT `darwin` (i.e. linux) to `darwin`: requires a copy of the macOS SDK on the host. The fyne-cross `darwin-sdk-extractor` command can be used to extract the SDK from the XCode CLI Tool file, see the [Extract the macOS SDK](#extract_macos_sdk) section below.
> - cross-compile from `darwin` to `darwin` by default will use under the hood the fyne CLI tool and requires Go and the macOS SDK installed on the host.
> - starting from v1.4.0, Arm64 hosts are supported for all platforms except Android.
## Requirements
- go >= 1.14
- docker
### Installation
For go >= 1.16:
```
go install github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross@latest
```
To install a fyne-cross with kubernetes engine support:
```
go install -tags k8s github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross@latest
```
For older go:
```
GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross
```
> `fyne-cross` will be installed in GOPATH/bin, unless GOBIN is set.
### Updating docker images
To update to a newer docker image the `--pull` flag can be specified.
If set, fyne-cross will attempt to pull the image required to cross compile the application for the specified target.
For example:
```
fyne-cross linux --pull
```
will pull only the `fyne-cross:base-latest` image required to cross compile for linux target.
## Usage
```
fyne-cross [options]
The commands are:
darwin Build and package a fyne application for the darwin OS
linux Build and package a fyne application for the linux OS
windows Build and package a fyne application for the windows OS
android Build and package a fyne application for the android OS
ios Build and package a fyne application for the iOS OS
freebsd Build and package a fyne application for the freebsd OS
version Print the fyne-cross version information
Use "fyne-cross -help" for more information about a command.
```
### Wildcards
The `arch` flag support wildcards in case want to compile against all supported GOARCH for a specified GOOS
Example:
```
fyne-cross windows -arch=*
```
is equivalent to
```
fyne-cross windows -arch=amd64,386
```
## Example
The example below cross compile and package the [fyne examples application](https://github.com/fyne-io/examples)
```
git clone https://github.com/fyne-io/examples.git
cd examples
```
### Compile and package the main example app
```
fyne-cross linux
```
> Note: by default fyne-cross will compile the package into the current dir.
>
> The command above is equivalent to: `fyne-cross linux .`
### Compile and package a particular example app
```
fyne-cross linux -output bugs ./cmd/bugs
```
## Extract the macOS SDK for OSX/Darwin/Apple cross-compiling
cross-compile from NOT `darwin` (i.e. linux) to `darwin` requires a copy of the macOS SDK on the host.
The fyne-cross `darwin-sdk-extractor` command can be used to extract the SDK from the XCode CLI Tool file.
**[Please ensure you have read and understood the Xcode license
terms before continuing.](https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/xcode.pdf)**
To extract the SDKs:
1. [Download Command Line Tools for Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Command%20Line%20Tools) >= 12.4 (macOS SDK 11.x)
2. Run: `fyne-cross darwin-sdk-extract --xcode-path /path/to/Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_12.5.dmg`
* Once extraction has been done, you should have a SDKs directory created. This directory contains at least 2 SDKs (ex. `SDKs/MacOSX12.3.sdk/` and `SDKs/MacOSX13.3.sdk/` in Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_14.3.1.dmg)
3. Specify explicitly which SDK you want to use in your fyne-cross command with --macosx-sdk-path: `fyne-cross darwin --macosx-sdk-path /full/path/to/SDKs/MacOSX12.3.sdk -app-id your.app.id`
