Request: ARM64 version for Raspberry Pi OS

[cheez26]

Hi. Some of you might know me from the LMMS Discord as ok cheez. So I'll cut to the chase...

I would like an arm64 RPiOS AppImage build of LMMS. I've requested this before...and yes, I have tried compiling it myself, but had little success tbh.

Why do I request this? I think it might make LMMS more accessible to that want to make music on a Raspberry Pi. I, myself, use a Raspberry Pi 400 as a daily desktop.

If there is anything you guys can do, let me know here or on the LMMS Discord. Thanks.

I'm no expert, but, if this ever happens, it might simplify porting LMMS to Android using the NDK, because the vast majority of those devices have ARM CPUs. If I'm wrong, please (anyone) correct me

Install pi-apps. That will in turn install 1.2.2.

However, the problem I'm having now is getting it to recognise Carla. I had exactly the same problem in Ubuntu Stedio and only the appimage would show Carla as an instrument option.

There is a high chance that #7252 will add linux on ARM appimage

I think GitHub actions finally has Linux ARM64 runners. Testing now.

Hmm... Maybe not..... https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/73040#discussioncomment-9661482. "End of the year" is the current promise. 🤞
