ARM build?

#9

Let me clarify that statement: Given we only have a finite amount of time, any time spent maintaining an ARM build would take away time from other areas. At this stage, I believe this would result in a net negative to Sublime Text’s users.

Sublime Text for Raspberry Pi 3 with Rasbian OS
Sublime version for ARM Macs
iPad version any time soon?

So after Sublime Text 3 is out, we can hope that an ARM build will see the light of day?

Dear JPS,

I think a arm port would be a nice kickstarter project, if there is enough demand, you will receive quite a sizable financial support to get the arm port done.

And to be frank, with linux, the CPU architecture is a way lower barrier, i don’t think a linux ARM port would take that much of resources.

Just registered to say that I’m very interested in an ARM build for my new Samsung Chromebook.

That is all.

jps, I hope you’ll reconsider your position on an ARM build. I know several developers who are using Chromebooks, and some who use a Raspberry Pi. All of them were previously ST users but have now had to learn how to use something like Vim or Emacs. The number of users wanting an ARM build might be small now, but with tablets and phones becoming more powerful it’s only a matter of time before people want to start using them as their main dev machine. Ubuntu Touch is a prime example of this movement.

Best regards.

For what it’s worth, geany is an alternative that works on Crouton with Ubuntu installed for Samsung Chromebook Arm. Not Sublime Text, but works.

Also just registered an account to say that an ARM build of Sublime Text 2/3 would be great. I currently have a few devices on which it is impossible to run this program (Raspberry Pi/Chromebook), and with it being closed sourced software it’s not like I can just recompile it.

In my experience it generally is not hard to cross-compile to an extra processor architecture if you’re not doing anything funky either. :cry:

To jump on the back of this, a build for SurfaceRT users would be cool. Obviously RT would have to be jailbroken for it to work.

+1 for an ARM build.

Message to the “sales team”: I just purchased a license, so now I am customer. Hope you care about me! :wink:

That’s closed source vendor lock-in biting you in the ass. Now that you’re hooked, you have to beg for platform support. :smiley:

How many free software libraries were used in the development of Sublime? Switch to free software and compile for ARM any time you want.

Switching from x86 to ARM so I need and vote for the ARM version Sublime Text … until an ARM version ST will not exist, my license will be unused :frowning: … and I will have to find and use a different editor :frowning:

Another request for an armhf architecture (Raspberry Pi) build here, please… I ask also for all the other Raspberry community fans addicted to Sublime Text!

+1 ARM build!

I’ve been using sublime text on my macbook. I love it. It’s become my main app for coding. Having an arm package for ubuntu would be great, as I could then use it on my Chromebook.

+1 arm build

I tend to agree. There’s just about nothing in the open source repositories that won’t Just Compile on ARM. The developers claiming it’s too much time for too little return is a cop out.
Add my +1 to the request for an ARM port, but I’m not buying your excuse. Grab yourself a $35 Pi, compile a Linux version, and recover your $35 investment with the very first sale. You’ll get tons of publicity for doing it, because the Raspberry Pi is a very very hot topic nowadays, and you’ll get a ton of very young users who will learn to love your app from a young age and continue to promote it for years to come. It’s a no brainer in my book. Just do it.
