Any Interest in aarch64 Linux Builds?

Unread post by Basilisk-Dev » 2024-01-25, 13:56

Is there any interest in aarch64 Linux builds? My laptop is aarch64 based and I'm building each release locally for myself since there aren't official aarch64 binaries. I'd be happy to share the builds if someone wants them.

Will they run on the raspberry Pi?

I'm not sure, I don't have one to test. I'd think so since I'm not compiling with any compiler specific optimizations. The builds would require a very recent glibc version though since my hardware (ThinkPad X13s) is only supported on more bleeding edge Linux distros at the moment.

I can test them on RPi 3+ and 4.

I have a Raspberry Pi 5. Right now, I'm only the regular user of Pale Moon though (and the older version of Interlink).

So I'd be interested to try out Pale Moon on the Pi sometime in the future. Unless there are published builds that I'm not aware of, should Linux instructions for building on Linux just work, at least in theory? I have the latest arm64 flavor of Raspberry Pi OS, which is based on Debian.

Sorry, I forgot I posted this topic in the first place.

Yeah, the build instructions and mozconfig on the Epyrus site will work for aarch64 Linux. I've built it with GCC 11 on Oracle Linux 8, as well as OpenSuSE Tumbleweed with GCC 13.

I change the optimization to --enable-optimize="-O2 -march=native -w" when building on my aarch64 machine locally for increased performance, but that's not required.

Here is an aarch64 build of Epyrus 2.1.2.
