Bulding Anki for Ubuntu aarch64 using GitHub workflows, (INFO: Found 0 targets ) FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully

I have used this https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/error-when-compiling-anki-in-fedora-arm64-docker-image-on-arm64-host-drone-ci to build for Ubuntu aarch64 using GitHub workflow. But build failed.
What is possible cause of Build Failed?
How to add aarch64 target?

Source GitHub - infinyte7/anki-arm64

Also there are some Error

Full log here - Merge branch 'main' into infinyte7-patch-1 · infinyte7/anki-arm64@90f88ca · GitHub

Python 3.8 is required - you appear to be using Python 3.6. You may run into further issues - it’s not a platform I’ve tested myself.

I have tried multiple approach and also minimized some errors.

0 Error

/usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory

I solved using: ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

1 Error

Rerunning the workflow solve it. Also adding --jobs=1 solved.

2 Error

I rerun the workflow to solve this.

3 Error

4 Error

This error after rerunning the workflow.

I have viewed the log. All errors is related to PyQt5.QtCore

What is approach for solving this and also testing PyQt5 before running the build process because build process took a lot of time?

I managed to build it successfully on Arch Linux ARM64
What will be approach for sharing it to other so that they do not need to build it ?

For anybody they want to build on Arch Linux ARM64

Glad to hear you got it working. Thanks for sharing your steps, I imagine some people may find that useful.

I’m not ready to start distributing official arm builds yet, but you could always host a binary somewhere if you wanted to share it with others.

Is any changes happen to Anki build? I have not checked recently?

Update anki · krmanik/anki-arm64@468ffc2 · GitHub

I have the changes in this PR.
updates to the build process and binary bundles · ankitects/anki@95dbf30 · GitHub
dist changed to wheels

Starting with the 2.1.50 betas, arm64 wheels of Anki are available on PyPI, so you will no longer need to build them separately going forward.
