Availability of TSE for ARM(64) Linux architecture?

[Sergio Villaseca]

I use Ubuntu Linux LTE (CLI only) and Raspberry Pi ARM64 devices extensively for automation projects and would love to have TSE running on them to edit files with a full featured and more user friendly editor like TSE.

Is or may it be possible to have TSE compiled for this platform as well as it is already available tu run under Ubuntu in the x86 architecture?

Thanks and regards.

Right now, TSE only compiles with the 32-bit x86 Borland C 5.5 and
Open Watcom C compilers.
I'm working on getting it compiled with gcc 32-bit. 31 of 41 modules
compile successfully so far. There is also some assembly/x86 specific
code that I'll need to (somehow) convert to C. But I have ideas about
that - hopefully it'll work :)

After that, the next step will be to get it compiling with 64-bit gcc.
That will definitely be a big job!
Once that works, it should be ready for the ARM(64).

Thanks for the interest!

Have you tried using Grok or Github Copilot or Claude or anything like that?   I recently converted our shipping library using a FedEx API from SOAP to REST using CoPilot, and it made it so much easier than I ever thought it might be.

You could probably give it an assembler function, and it would convert it to equivalent C.   Be interesting to see if that works.

What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

Nope I have not. I'm not opposed to them at all, I just don't have
subscriptions to any of them at present.
I'm not sure what the free versions could do with a codebase exceeding
100,000 lines that does not even fully compile with gcc.

I used one of the free tools to determine that my FFI "fix" is not
portable and only works with Intel architectures. :(
So back to the drawing board with that.

Hi Sammy

It would make best sense IMO not to feed the AI everything at once, but
(start out) giving the AI agent code snippets for conversion.
