An ARM, an apple and a raspberry.

Post by richmond62 » Sat Apr 23, 2022 5:23 pm

The LiveCode release for Raspberry Pi 6.5.1 contained an engine to build standalones
for Android-ARM: presumably this sort of thing will not run on Apple-ARM processors?

It's unlikely, every OS has its own system calls and they are all different. Also Android apps are based on Java and iOS isn't. I doubt it would even install.

Actually I meant Macintosh computers with ARM chips.

Same thing, the system calls and the app structure are too different to work interchangeably.

... "we don't serve fruits here." And the raspberry said, "This one's okay, we got him off of Obama."

I imagine some sort of virtualization would work well. Likely that would be faster than translating from ARM to X86 instructions set.

Someone has already gotten a Linux desktop OS to build and boot on Apple Silicon, but that may have problems with graphics acceleration since I'm sure that's closed source proprietary GPU driver.
