arm builds

[jon.w....@gmail.com]

Hi Roger,

I'm looking at the abandoned arm build repos on github:

https://github.com/LeonardLaszlo/nw.js-armv7-binaries/blob/master/building-script.sh

which patches nw.js from here:

https://npm.pkg.github.com/jtg-gg/node-webkit

and, for some reason, also patches Chromium:

https://npm.pkg.github.com/jtg-gg/chromium.src

Unfortunately, it appears that none of the patches apply cleanly any more. However, a lot of the nw.js patches are basically just adding entries to the build infrastructure for the arm architecture.

If I prune these out for a clean patch set would you apply them upstream? If so I'll go ahead and add some code to potentially handle arm64 as well.

Also, if anyone can shed light on why jtg-gg was patching Chromium-- which as I understand already runs on arm archs-- I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Thanks for your interest in porting NW.js to ARM. Yes I would love to merge it. And if the patch is not too big or complex, I will see to rebase it from version to version.

Best regards,

Roger

Hi Roger,

Can you tell me exactly what distro and version you are using to build nw.js?

Also-- can I successfully build nw.js from a clean install on that distro?

The Chromium link you provide in your build docs says to use Ubuntu 14.04 for the build. But I'm already hitting an error with an out-of-date version of openjdk on that distro. After fixing that I'm getting all kinds of errors like:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'../../out/nw/gen/chrome/app/chrome_content_browser_manifest_overlay.json'

Plus an error previous to that about duplicate keys in a grit-related file. I'd rather not hand patch individual Chromium files just to get an x86_64 build to complete. (That is, I'm not even trying to cross-compile for arm yet...)

I'm checking out from here:

 gclient config --name=src https://github.com/nwjs/chromium.src.git@origin/nw39

Any hints? There's no simple script to build nw.js so I can only go from your build documentation and the build script Laszlo has here:

https://github.com/LeonardLaszlo/nw.js-armv7-binaries

Thanks,

Jonathan

We are using Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS but 14.04 should be fine too. You'll need JRE 8 installed for that compile error.
