@janantos sorry for the delay
a new pre-release ~will be~ is out ~soon~ (@leaanthony). you will be able to update and test with wails update -pre

I understand you are planning using wails on some ARM device? Please let us know if you succeed. If not please report back for support. :smiley:

[leaanthony]

v1.0.2-pre3 supports this now. Please update using wails update -pre and let us know :+1:

[janantos]

@bh90210 ji, yes I am going to use it on Pinebook Pro, will definitively give you feedback soon. Thanks for your effort.

Error: exit status 255

it sort of generate souurce folder as I can see, but then fails on illegal instruction.
cant found dumped core, any hint?

after a quick search I've found

• https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9583
  can you please npm -v and share the result?

• https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues/1453#issuecomment-415761791
  The Illegal instruction error concerns the production (by the JIT) of an instruction that the processor does not recognise as valid. That might arise if the architecture of what was downloaded does not match the real architecture of your machine (you are most likely to be on an x64).

• ~https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42159324/illegal-instruction-core-dumped-node-js
  It seems that you copied the node_modules instead of moving everything else and running npm install to install dependencies.~

can you please confirm if a projectname/frontend folder was created before the exit error?

also many seem to suggest maybe using a different node version actually solves the issue

[bh90210]

• https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/24059/node-js-v0-11-14-exits-with-illegal-instruction
  Test node
  To test whether this is the reason you are experiencing the 'Illegal instruction' error, run
  node --v8-options and look at the second line. If it is:

ARMv7=1 VFP3=0 VFP32DREGS=0 NEON=0 SUDIV=0 ...
then the ARMv7=1 hints that V8 is compiled for ARMv7.

Awesome work @bh90210 - I've added an ARM section in the docs to capture this information and add a Work in progress notice to it. @janantos - once you confirm the solution, we'll ensure the docs reflect this. It will greatly help others who will be using ARM.

[janantos]

hi, whatever was fixed in 1.0.2-pre5 fixed the problem itself, illegal instruction problem was reported on 1.0.2-pre3, also I believe that there has been update of node in manjaro-arm today or yesterday.
nothing needs to be set in Manjaro-arm, just installed gtk dependencies, node and npm

current tested versions
npm 6.13.6
node 13.6.0

manjaro-arm is full 64bit (aarch64) not like rapsbian where is 64bit kernel but 32bit userspace (armhf)

so we can declate it working, as vue project builds and run. I am using pinebook pro which have chipset RK3399, it is arm8 not arm7 as rpi.

thanks for your effort.

great job

[leaanthony]

Thanks for confirming. Wails hasn't been targetting ARM specifically so I'm
not sure what performance is like. Hopefully, this is something you could
give feedback on. Good luck 👍

@leaanthony do you have any benchmark? On the other side rk3399 chipset is quite powerful. Definitively will provide feedback.

[leaanthony]

No benchmarks for me, but some of the IPC is quite CPU intensive. I'm also
wondering if tinygo would be an option too....

@leaanthony I would doubt tinygo will work as cgo is partially supported. Also standard library is not fully supported.

[leaanthony]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it's working for you. Closing.
