Linux on ARM Support

[roli8200]

May You consider adding support for Linux on ARM specially for Raspberry PI.
This would add a huge benefit for a lot of applications.

I tried this some time ago, but Gradle did not support cross compiling for ARM on x86_64.
This is necessary because GitHub Actions offer only x86_64 Linux and I need to compile the libraries on GitHub Actions.

Does this preclude compiling the repo on ARM directly? Am interested in using this, but one of my dev environments is Asahi Linux on a MacBook m1

Don't know.
Try it 😉
You probably need to add the aarch64 (or arm64) architecture here:

FlatLaf/flatlaf-natives/flatlaf-natives-linux/build.gradle.kts

Line 31 in b97424f

targetMachines = listOf( machines.linux.x86_64 )

Sample from Windows build:

FlatLaf/flatlaf-natives/flatlaf-natives-windows/build.gradle.kts

Lines 33 to 37 in b97424f

	targetMachines = listOf(
	machines.windows.x86,
	machines.windows.x86_64,
	machines.windows.architecture( "aarch64" )
	)

Maybe Gradle 8.11 (not yet released) is needed.
From release notes https://docs.gradle.org/8.11-rc-3/release-notes.html#native-toolchains:

Linux arm64 as a build target
This release adds Clang and GCC support to Gradle on Linux platforms that use the ARM or AArch64 architecture

Looks like Gradle 8.11 is out now...
