ARM cpu support

Closed this issue 3 days ago · 4 comments

Hi, is there any change to support arm?

Hey. GitHub itself unfortunately doesn't offer an ARM runner so I would probably have to rely on cross-compilation to make it work. I don't own an ARM cpu myself, so if I send you the executable, will you be able to test it out on an ARM cpu and let me know if it works?

Hey! Sure. I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with an ARM CPU, so I can run the tests. If you have any issues with compiling, I’d be happy for you to use my device for testing, or you can send me the specific commands to run (because I'm not familiar with Dart). I can also create a merge request for you to add them.

Yeah sure thanks! I will try to build for ARM and send you an executable. You don't need to run any tests. You can just run the program like you would on your PC and test it to see if things work. I'll keep you updated.

Hey. I did some digging but apparently Flutter doesn't support cross-compiling and unfortunately, GitHub also doesn't offer ARM runners so there is no way for me to support this. If you want to run it on an ARM CPU, you'll have to build Brisk from source.
