Re: [wsjt-devel] 64 bit raspbian

2019-07-16 Thread Greg Beam

Hi Bill, Sandro,

Ubuntu has an ARMv8 (arm64) distro. I can't say off-hand that I know 
anyone using it in ham radio, mostly server based applications.


My PPA has been building the ARMv8 (arm64) package for a while now. 
Again, I don't know if anyone is installing it, but the *.deb package is 
there nonetheless.


Link to Packages, Bionic is the latest:

I think that is a 32 bit version for raspbian, not for the 64 bits.

I am correct ?

Thanks

Hi Sandro,

you are quite correct. The ARM version of WSJT-X is 32-bit. My mistake 
as at the time it was rolled out I was working on a large commercial 
project porting software to ARM 64-bit and I had the AArch64 
architecture high on my brain stack ;)


If someone wished to run 64-bit WSJT-X on an ARM processor, including 
the Raspberry Pi models 2 and 3, they could install a 64-bit o/s that 
provides ARM support such  as OpenSUSE Linux (maybe CentOS as well) then 
build WSJT-X from sources. I would be surprised if it was not 
straightforward. Our package maintainers may already be doing so.
