Suggested (minor) changes to get firefly to compile on arm64 linux

Open ElrinV opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Description

Some small changes are required to get firefly to successfully compile on arm64 linux. The solution is provided below for two files.

Motivation

This will enable firefly to work on arm64 linux machines like Raspberry Pi4, Jetson Nano and others.

Requirements

This fix will allow the wallet to compile without code modifications from the user or manual json commands.

Are you planning to do it yourself in a pull request?

No, there is already an open branch for it at ci-arm64. However here are all the changes required:

File: packages/desktop/package.json +add one line below line 15: "compile:linux-arm64": "electron-builder --linux --arm64",

File: packages/desktop/README.md +edit line 56 to become: Change win to your operating system - mac, win, linux or linux-arm64.

Hey @ElrinV Are you still interested on adding support for arm64 Linux ? :v:

It has been quite some time since I have tried to compile it for the arm64 machine (AMD nano), and by now the proprietary AMD drivers for the machine is badly out of date. I'll have to check first if I can update the ubuntu install to something less ancient.
