I can report successful builds on an Alpine-Linux musl platform as of a
couple of weeks back, so if nothing major has thrown a spanner in the
works since then, you should be good to go.

The Linux build.linux64ARMv8/squeak.cog.spur VM , using a dual-mapped code zone so far works on all 64-bit Linux distros people have tried.  The Apple Silicon port is “in preparation”; I have a developer beta machine, actually a second that I’m trying to setup after an unsuccessful OS upgrade borked the previous one.  The build.macos64ARMv8/squeak.cog.spur VM builds, but because lldb doesn’t yet launch the program I haven’t sorted out the mapping for the code zone there-on, which uses a different scheme because of Apple’s non-standard MAP_JIT map scheme for dynamically generated code. But it should only be a few days of engineering effort away, effort they may take many weeks to complete, given pressure of work.

And the squeak.stack.spur interpreter works on both Linux and MacOS.

Hello all,

What are the "canonical" instructions for building the ARM64 linux VM (regardless of distro)?

More completely

sudo apt install libevdev-dev

Hi,

What's the current state of the ARM 64 cog VM?  Does it build?  If not, what magic is needed...

Thanks.
