Linux/ARM
What's the current status of the Linux/ARM build for Raspberry Pi?

Re: Linux/ARM
Hi Richard,
Am I allowed to say 'pending' for the moment?
The 64-bit changes that @ricochet1k and @mwieder have been working on will help some way to integrating the work I did a while ago on a rough Raspberry Pi build. It might still be a while before I can push those into the main branch, but they are on my list to do in due course.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.

Re: Linux/ARM
Thanks for the update, Mark.
Would it be realistic to expect a test build in August? I have something in the works for September which could really use the Linux/ARM engine.
If it's too early to say, that's fine too. As you know, it's always better to have a vague estimate that's realistic than a precise one that isn't.

Re: Linux/ARM
That's an intriguing teaser...I have something in the works for September
I had a look at what it would take to do proper ARM builds and decided i had other things to deal with.

Re: Linux/ARM
I'm hoping to have some time after the conference to merge the Raspberry Pi changes into 'develop' which is at least the first step... Actually *building* the engine for that platform is a little more tricky as it involves cross-compiling against the a raspbian SD-card image. I'm hoping it will be easy enough to derive a pre-canned collection of headers and libs from such a thing though so that the hoops anyone needs to jump through to build for that platform is minimal.

Re: Linux/ARM
Ack! I forgot about the SD-card thing.
And 64-bit ARM processors are just around the corner.
