ARM Build

[judsonmitchell]

This looks like a great project. Any chance your can release a build for ARM machines? I'm hesitant to try compiling it myself....

[cortesi]

Yes, I could. ARM Linux?

By the way, you might be very, very pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to cross-compile in Go. Go's tooling is excellent, and cross-compilation generally "just works". This command will procude a working ARM devd binary in the repo:

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build

Yes, it really is that simple.

[judsonmitchell]

Yes, ARM Linux would be great. You're right, though, that is easy!

[judsonmitchell]

I was able to do it with the help of gox. Thanks!

[judsonmitchell]

I spoke too soon. Running the binary on my ARM machine, I get:

panic: could not locate box "templates"

How would I build so those files are included?

[judsonmitchell]

Ok, got it working by manually installing go.rice and modifying the build bash script in the devd source. If anyone needs the arm binary before cortesi releases one, I've posted a copy here.

@judsonmitchell: I would definitely merge a pull request that added ARM support to that build script... ;)
