Hi everyone,

Thank you all for this awesome piece of software !

Been using Eclipse for more than 10 years now... And I guess the time to participate has begun.

I'd like to use Eclipse on an aarch64 box, but it seems the support of this platform is not enabled in the build (and lacking some files), but I wish to contribute to it.

May I have some guidance on how to start, and especially what can be reused from previous (2013) works on this matter?

My guess would be starting by eclipse.platform.swt.binaries/bundles/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.aarch64, still digging...

Hi, there are aarch64 builds available in Fedora. So please first try them - it is available in Fedora repository directly (aka 'dnf install eclipse') in running Fedora installation on aarch64 system. This is what this sources are used for. And let us know of any issues you find - there aren't many people interested in it so far.

Regarding eclipse.org aarch64 builds - there aren't such as there is a need for dedicated aarch64 provided to eclipse foundation which can be used for building the native parts. So far we don't have such and thus no builds.

Hope that helpse.

 

Thanks in advance,
