Simply removing that flag isn't the way to go.

You need to add a conditional statement to that block, and may need to check other sections as well.

Or create a new .mak file tailored to arm64 (not the best way to go about it, but if you're gonna take the brute-force approach, that's one way to do it while preserving the original .mak file so it's still portable).

If you want this bad enough, you'll find a way....

I'll shoot an e-mail off to Antonio and see if he can provide some guidance.

Can you post the source as well?

It's the same source I posted earlier...

8th still holds the crown at 8 megs.

It's like I said to be expected! Full 8th functionality is bundled with binary. There is gui support, sound support, hardware support, network support, Bluetooth support, crypto support, database support and a lot more...

I can easily write all kinds of software without any 3rd party libraries. It's a big plus for me and normally I don't bother building executables, I just use 8th to run the source file.

Attached is a picture of the simple morphing program I wrote with 8th.

The painful journey of being the first.

On a positive note, Eben Upton (lead RPi engineer) liked the concept of Ubuntu 64 on the RPi 4B. (Twitter conversation)

Can you do a Rust and Free Pascal timex if they are available for Ubuntu 64 on the RPi?

Try the attached tecmake.mak file.  Place it in your IUP folder.  Then just run 'make -B'.

Thanks AIR!

Not without  a shit load of scary warnings along the way.

I used make -j 4 replacing the tecmake.mak in IM/CD/IUP with  yours.

Sucks this is static only.

The install and install_dev scripts need work for this platform. No ARM64 support.

I may try to do a Lua SALC Ubuntu 64 now that I have it working.

I managed to compile dynamic arm64 libs.  Don't know if they work, but they're attached.

AIR.

[John]

Wow!

That's great. What desktop did you install?

Can you share how you did it as I need to do the same for CD and IM.

[John]

Seems to work.

Code: C

1. #include <stdlib.h>
2. #include <iup/iup.h>
3.  
4. int main(int argc, char **argv)
5. {
6.   IupOpen(&argc, &argv);
7.  
8.   IupMessage("Ubuntu 64 RPi 4B", "Hello world from IUP.");
9.  
10.   IupClose();
11.   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
12. }
13.  

[John]

AIR,

Did you create a tecmake.mak that generates shared objects rather than static libraries? It would be great to have a set of dynamic and static IUP libries.

[John]

I was curious how much the array part was consuming time and memory. A couple seconds faster but the eye opener is the memory use.
