Just a question, as the vote has been pulled off.
Is it possible to create the binaries cross compile the profiler library
on Linux?

Hi,
The lack of native binaries supporting Apple Silicon (eg. profiler and
terminal) is becoming more and more of an issue, and costing us users.
I assume that is something we wish to address?! And incidentally,
while we're at it, if you're a NetBeans PMC member or committer using
it on macOS regularly on either Apple silicon or x86_64, your input
and testing through this would be very appreciated. I've got access
to an M1 machine myself, but it's not what I use day-to-day.
We have a PR updating the build scripts for the profiler binaries at
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/6494 I think we have
something for the terminal support somewhere too, although it might
need a little work.
In some ways, that's the easy part - we need a better way to handle
releasing these for consumption in the main IDE build.
The Windows launchers are currently in a separate repository, and
released via Maven central -
https://github.com/apache/netbeans-native-launchers We could use a
similar approach. However, that might be more difficult for a
cross-OS range of binaries (and with the profiler header generation)?
We have a GitHub workflow file for building profiler binaries already
at
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/.github/workflows/native-binary-build-lib.profiler.yml
That has the benefit of cross-OS building, including for macOS where
we don't have an ASF Jenkins option currently.
The workflow appears to be missing a source bundle that we could use
for voting purposes, but could be adapted to generate that in an
initial stage (we don't want the full NetBeans sources!). We could
then look to release the binaries via dist.apache.org for consumption
in IDE builds?
Given there is not a huge amount of time before freeze for NB20, we
could perhaps look to only update the binaries for macOS at this time,
moving to ASF builds of the rest for NB21?
Thoughts?
Best wishes,
Neil
