arch "arm" is not built anymore

[zoff99]

only armv7a is built now.
normal arm .so library is missing.

I don't think we ever built a normal arm .so on Travis. I'm not sure about Jenkins. Do you know what needs to change to build for normal arm?

i am trying to find out what the build commands are. i am not really familiar with sbt.
the problem is:

By default, an ARM Clang standalone toolchain will target the armeabi-v7a ABI.
GCC will target armeabi.
Either can be controlled by passing the appropriate -march flag,
and Clang can also be controlled with target.

i have googled and did not find how to make clang build for armeabi :-(
why does it need clang? does it work with normal GCC ?

You could try to make it work with GCC. The problem used to be that GCC doesn't know C++, and we need a standard compliant C++ compiler.

[zoff99]

oh. thats all. then it should work with gcc just fine.
but lets wait until it even works in Antox (commits are merged) for that switch to GCC

[iphydf]

GCC works now. Also, the C++ code is built with cmake now. We might get this to work. How do you build for arm?
