What?
Just some quick steps to compile Elm for Linux arm64 since the official distribution does not support ARM yet.
How?
Get Debian GNU/Linux Bullseye 11 arm64 ready and run these commands:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential \
automake \
autotools-dev \
make \
g++ \
ca-certificates \
software-properties-common \
apt-transport-https \
lsb-base \
lsb-release \
zlib1g-dev \
libpcre3-dev \
libcurl4-openssl-dev \
libc-dev \
libxml2-dev \
libsnmp-dev \
libssh2-1-dev \
libevent-dev \
libopenipmi-dev \
libpng-dev \
pkg-config \
libfontconfig1 \
git \
bzip2 \
zip \
unzip \
musl-dev \
ghc \
cabal-install \
libmpfr-dev
git clone https://github.com/elm/compiler.git
cd compiler
git checkout 0.19.1
rm worker/elm.cabal
cabal new-update
cabal new-configure
cabal new-build
Wait for a while and the binary should be hopefully at compiler/dist-newstyle/build/aarch64-linux/ghc-*/elm-0.19.1/x/elm/build/elm/elm
IMPORTANT: Please ensure you have at least 4 gigas RAM memory available for the compilation to work
Who?
As always a big thank you to Evan Czaplicki and the wonderful people creating and maintaining Elm.
