We have nothing that will make it impractical or impossible to run. We still do a lot of work on having EFL and enlightenment run on ARM and ARM is still 99.9% 32bit (ARM64 is still not widely spread). We design our code to run in both situations. It MAY be that you hit particular bugs that were missed in testing as 32bit installed become far less frequent on x86 (some of them may be interactions between other libraries like Mesa and so on), but nothing specifically to make it impractical or impossible. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
