beast can run on arm architecture ?

Hi @vinniefalco , we are planning to build a websocket server on iOS and android base on beast. So, beast can run on arm architecture ? how is performance run on mobile ?

I used beast on a few embedded IoT platforms (e.g ARM Cortex-A53 in RPi 3 or QCA9550 MIPS based router SoC). I can confirm it works like charm :).

It should work, but note that I do not have resources for ensuring that it compiles on ARM toolchains (is there a way to set that up on Travis?)

That said, I am more than happy to accept pull requests to fix any small issues that might come up. If you want Beast to have robust support for ARM then I would suggest you subscribe to the repository and test the develop and master branches from time to time. I submit new branches as a pull request so that gives users an opportunity to check out the branch and report on it before it gets merged.

At work we used openWRT's(now known as LEDE) buildroot for the toolchain, but it might be overkill for this purpose(downloads and compiles the toolchain for your own architecture). Perhaps this could be useful.

Well like I said I am more than happy to accept pull requests, but configuring and using a Docker image falls way outside my area of expertise and comfort.

@djarek , great news for me.
@vinniefalco , thanks for your suggestion. I will try.

It doesn't look like there's anything actionable here so I'll go ahead and close the issue, but feel free to re-open it or create a new issue if the need arises, thanks!

just announce I have built successful beast on iOS and Android and it run well. But need more time to test the stability.
