Describe your issue

I have a simple rust project on aarch64-darwin, targeting arm64 raspberryPi 4B. I have installed cross using cargo, I have added aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu as target via rustup, I have podman installed.
I did a cross build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, here's the output:

[15:06:23] $ cross build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Trying to pull ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu:0.2.5...
Error: choosing an image from manifest list docker://ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu:0.2.5: no image found in image index for architecture "arm64", variant "v8", OS "linux"

aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

Which operating system is the host (e.g computer cross is on) running?

• macOS
• Windows
• Linux / BSD
• other OS (specify in description)

What architecture is the host?

• x86_64 / AMD64
• arm32
• arm64 (including Mac M1)

What container engine is cross using?

• docker
• podman
• other container engine (specify in description)

cross version

cross 0.2.5

Sorry, my bad. Figured it out: You have to pass in the podman flag --platform=linux/amd64 or --arch=amd64, tweak for your own requirements.
Based on Configuring cross with environment variables, you can pass flags to the container engine. You can do:
CROSS_CONTAINER_OPTS=--platform=linux/amd64 cross build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Basically, if you fail during a build and it's image not found, inspect the url(in my case it's docker://ghcr.io/cross-rs/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu:0.2.5) for supported platform, and do the environment variable.

If you use nix, you can simply set up shell hook in flake.nix for this.
