This repo is a starter for creating a custom styled Gtk UI app in Rust for PinePhone
Check out commands in my Makefile or simply run make.
Notice how I compile glade, images, and css into a single .gresource file, this let's me embed
the bytes of all the things my app needs into my Rust app.
Currently I compile this on my desktop for quick iteration and my phone to test out.
- in debug mode, the app will be about the size of a pinephone
- in release mode, the app will maximize to take up available space (assumed to be running on phone)
When i compile on the phone, I have to increase my amount of ram by uzing zram
sudo swapoff /dev/zram0
sudo zramctl --reset /dev/zram0
sudo zramctl --find --size 2048M
sudo mkswap /dev/zram0
sudo swapon /dev/zram0
I haven't figured this stuff out yet, I could use some help on these details.
- get gcc setup for aarch64
sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
sudo dnf install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
- get rust setup for aarch64
rustup install stable-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
add to ~/.cargo/config
[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu]
linker = "aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc"
- Make sure you have aarch64 dependencies for Gtk
???
- Start the compile!
PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1 cargo build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --release
