Aura on ARM architecture

[mb720]

Hi!

I like aura so much I want to run it on my Raspberry Pi :-D

I have Arch Linux up and running on my Raspberry Pi 4 using these fine instructions.

I can see here, that you currently don't provide builds for the ARM architecture.

I was wondering if there are plans to produce ARM binaries and what I can do to get aura running on Raspberry Pi, respectively.

Cross-compilation is somewhat difficult for Haskell. While it might take a while, you could consider compiling Aura yourself on the Pi using stack.

Hi there, any thoughts?

Hi!

Since currently stack doesn't seem to run on ARM, I've put this undertaking on hold temporarily to work on a different task.

Once I get this running, I'll let you know.

In that case let's leave this open until we have more to say.

I'll mention also that Aura doesn't need stack to compile. You could use cabal just fine.

I have transferred this thread to Github Discussions. I'll also mention that with Aura's on-going port to Rust, ARM support will be restored, and I have made arrangements to test this with volunteers from other Arch-based distributions.
