I would like to get linux-arm binaries up at some point, but they would need to work on as many ARM devices as possible, and as Tim Caswell says, "portable arm binaries are an oxymoron". That said, if a copy of node compiled for ARMv5 processors is the "lowest common denominator" for ARM devices (I'm just getting started in this area), then maybe that would be the way to go.
I welcome comments from more ARM-knowing people on the feasibility of this :) On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 2:56 PM, R i S <hairyon...@gmail.com> wrote: > well done! > I know you guys are in the thick of it, and probably can't see the wood > for the trees, but- > I would suggest, NodeJS has a massive following in the x86, x64 area, > You probably have more (admittedly end-user types - not developers) people > interested in the ARM arena. > V8 needs to be compiled with an x86 machine, before porting the rest to > any ARM, > It would be really 'nice' if you released an ARM (say ARM5) version for > the ARM community to be able to work from as you are now trialing with the > linux ports > thanks for reading this far. > > >
