Compile on armv7h

[apampe]

I have a arm-based touchscreen PC that I'd like to use, and was expecting this work work as it's similar to the pi. But I get a compile error:

==> ERROR: opencpn is not available for the 'armv7h' architechure.

Has anybody troubleshot this with any luck yet, or is it a known limitation of opencpn?

Thanks in advance!

Are you really compiling it from source?

Where did you get the source code? What compiler are you using?

I'm using arch on a TS-7990 (embeddarm.com).

Compiling the package from Arch User Repository: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opencpn/

which uses sources from:
https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/a...e_5.2.4.tar.gz

Compiles with cmake and gcc/g++ (from the "makepkg" package management script)


I believe this error is coming from the compiler itself, not the AUR package management script. I'll try to compile without the package script to verify that tonight.

This comes from the AUR package management script, because the PKGBUILD file in AUR contains

arch=('x86_64' 'aarch64')

It has nothing to do with the compiler or OpenCPN itself.

Ah yes I was far off, and jumpy to post wanting to get a practical perspective and join the forums here as I am a new boat owner and learning a lot lately.


I have added my armv7h architecture to the PKGCONFIG, corrected a few .h includes with the libraries: pango glib harfbuzz. Then I had to disable the msse2 compile flag, which I'm unsure of the consequences but it is continuing to compile.... slowly....



I wish I would have seen the other thread mentioned! I'll be sure to respond over there if I get this setup working.
