Is it possible to install Xojo 2015 3 on Raspberry?
RPM, DEB OR TGZ?
I tried RPM:
[code]sudo rpm -i xojo2015r3.rpm
sudo: rpm command not found
sudo apt-get install rpm
sudo rpm -i xojo2015r3.rpm
rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages,use Alien instead
sudo apt-get install Alien
sudo alien -i xojo2015r3.rpm
xojo2015r3.rpm is for architecture i386 ; the package cannot be built on this system[/code]
I tried also DEB:
sudo bpkg -i xojo2015r3.deb
dpkg: error processing the archive xojo2015r3lfcl.deb (--install):
the package architecture (i386) does not match that of the system (armhf)
There were errors in processing xojo2015r3lfcl.deb
I tried also TGZ extracted folders with double click on Xojo but nothing.
You CAN run Xojo up to version 2017r2.1 (32-bit) on the Raspberry Pi 3B+ using Exagear. It’s a little sluggish, but usable. I think the Raspi hardware of the 3B+ has finally grown up enough to warrant looking at native installation. Without the Exagear emulation layer, an ARM-compiled Xojo should run at speed. Then, of course, there’s the question of supporting a 32-bit program in a 64-bit world. Oddly enough, the Raspberry Pi since the 2B v1.2 has been a 64-bit machine, but the Raspberry Pi folks want to ensure compatibility across all models and are sticking with a 32-bit kernel. SUSE does have an officially supported 64-bit OS image for the Raspi 3 (not the 3B+ yet). There are also a couple of open source attempts; Bamarni/Pi64 for the Raspi 3 (again, not the 3B+) and a really nice Gentoo image from Sakaki that can be easily installed by image with Etcher or using PINN (the NOOBS fork).
As for the memory issue, perhaps a ramdisk? I boot directly from a USB m.2 2242 128 Gig SSD which speeds things up a bit.
