ARM build?

#52

Wow it’s been years since this thread started. Are we any closer?
I’d perhaps even like a slightly cut-down version so it runs lovely and quick.

Does anyone know of anything similar that would run on a raspberry pi, to keep us going in the mean time ?

Bluefish works on ARM devices. It’s open source as well. It looks pretty good

Since Sublime haven’t bothered to make a low priority support version of sublime compiled for ARM. (LOL how hard could it really be… just compile, it’s not like it’s a hypervisor or anything)
For so long… I’m not waiting anymore. The world is moving towards ARM devices.

Am I allowed to bump this thread Raspberry Pi 2 is out now with the beautiful arm cortex a7 and sublime would be just sublime!

I originally posted to this thread a very long time ago.

At the time, I couldn’t understand why it would be a big deal to compile for armv6, for raspberry pi.

Now I know a bit more about arm architecture and suddenly I disagree less with the lack of sublime-text on arm, and disagree more with the very concept of how arm architecture works.

Unlike pretty much every other CPU anyone in public uses, arm has very little consistency between models, and in some cases you need to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the manufacturer before you can get any documentation at all on the proprietary bits. What’s more, being able to operate on one version of a chip doesn’t mean you’ll be able to run on another with a very similarly numbered chip.

There needs to be some sort of standardization and openness to the architecture before we can expect any vendor to port their products to it. Intel, for all its proprietary monopolistic nature, provides all the documentation you need and a consistent API to figure out what features a chip or chipset has.

For the record, I’ve stopped buying arm boards unless a better board is simply not practical for the situation. Unfortunately that’s unlikely to prevent arm chip manufacturers from continuing their haphazard and lackadaisical architectures and documentation.

Really need Sublime Text for arm devices!

Good to know Ken. I was planning on using Raspbian to be my IDE for development for my other PI’s. Using Sublime text because of the light weightiness compared to an Eclipse, or Intellij.

Guess it’s back to the drawing board.

Yup just quad Pi and Beaglebone would be nice. Orange PI would be a dream too.

Please, Orange Pi/ Quad Pi / A20 (cubieboard, banana) / Orange Pi, soooooooooo missing Sub on ARM. Ramp up the price, wgaf!

I’d like to change my opinion.
I’ve got some ARM devices here. Like different Pi’s,etc. and need Sublime desperately for embedded dev as this device switching is really annoying. I love Vi/Vim on the command line but for whole projects this is annoying, too. And I’m too lazy for cross compilation while setting up a whole new fresh product with a lot of testing. Most of the dev is done on board atm.

+1 for ARM for my chromebook medion s2015… with chrouton (chroot debian jessie), xfce and soon google play store it is the perfect portable machine for some development and scripting… would love to use sublime instead of pluma :slight_smile:

+1 for ARM

Im a crossplatform developer, so use sublime on macOS/Windows and Linux, and love it…
I really miss it when I jump over to PI and other SOC platforms to do some dev.

Id be willing to pay extra for it, or back a kickstarter project.

Sublime for Raspberry Pi would be very cool, but honestly I don’t get where’s the problem. I’m using Sublime right now to write code on my RPi: Sublime runs on my laptop, and it saves the source files on the RPi through the SFTP plugin. I could also use sshfs, NFS or even samba. To run the compiler I can set the project to execute it using ssh, or I can run it on the RPi using a simple terminal.

Just my 2c.

One can also use a cross-compiler to compile on the host X86 machine to an ARM architecture. This is the sane choice when you don’t want your builds to take hours. There are various docker images available to make this process easier.

Adding my support for an ARM build. I’ve been looking at the new Pinebook, but due to its architecture, it wouldn’t be able to run Sublime. I’m really hoping news on this changes before they get more Pinebook Pros in stock.

It would be awesome to have an ARM build of Sublime to be able to run it on a Raspberry Pi.

Yet another long-time, licensed ST user here :grinning:

It’s been almost 8 years since this was first requested. ARM computers are getting more and more common. The recently-released Raspberry Pi 4 is considered a full desktop replacement (and in fact it’s currently my only computer after years of using ST on both Macs and Linux machines :laughing:)

As many others have said above, I’d be willing to back a kickstarter project or pay for an additional license to help fund the necessary work.

Can this feature request get considered again? :grin:
