Compiling for SBCs (Raspberry Pi etc)
Quote from manimation on June 5, 2025, 12:52 pmHi Niels,
It's great to see how AP is developing.
I know I raised this question before a few years ago (?) but is there any chance of AP being compiled to work on Arm processors so it can be run on the 4GB+ Raspberry Pi's? Given the potential size of the user base, especially in educational and home environments, I still see this as a great opportunity to encourage children to take up animation (especially as it would fit in well with STE(A)M).

Recently we have spend a lot of time upgrading internal libraries etc. So to my knowledge it should in fact be doable to do a Linux Arm build. But I will have to ask my lead programmer to be sure. I will be back...
