Re: [tycho-user] Support for 64-bit ARM Builds

In general there are two aspects where the environment comes into play:

- you are building a product that includes native launcher, you require a SDK that includes proper launcher artifacts in your target platform - you are building a bundle/feature/product that references platform specific artifacts (e.g. SWT)

If I take a look at [1] (Platform Runtime Binary/SWT Binary and Source) it seems for me that AArch64 is only available for *linux* and not specifically for *macosx* so

<environment>
 <os>linux</os>
 <ws>gtk</ws>
 <arch>aarch64</arch>
</environment>

would be your only choice at the moment (don't know if that is compatible with new 64-bit ARM (M1) Macs).

Hi all,

first of all, thanks for the development of Tycho! It reliably builds my Eclipse products for many years now.

A user reported that it is not possible to start the product on the new 64-bit ARM (M1) Macs, so I tried to build a corresponding variant. I added a new environment entry in the target-platform-configuration plugin like this:

<environment>
<os>macosx</os>
<ws>cocoa</ws>
<arch>aarch64</arch>
</environment>

I played around with the architecture identifiers, e.g. arm64, arm_64 but none of those work. Am I using the wrong identifier or is this not supported yet? If the latter is the case, can I do anything to help apart from opening a feature request? From what I gathered so far from the forums/bug reports the problem is not the runtime itself but rather that ARM-specific SWT libraries are required, is this correct?

Thanks and best regards
Dave
