Support for ARMv8 (RaspberryPi 3) #97

Closed crea-doo closed 7 years ago

crea-doo commented 7 years ago

I had trouble running the lib with Oracle Java 8 on a RaspberryPi 3 and modified the make files to support building for ARMv8 platform.

Unfortunately I had some problems compiling due to a missing dependency (liblockdev) on Ubuntu 16.04.2. Compiling without liblockdev (see https://github.com/cvanorman/nrjavaserial/issues/2) worked in the meantime.

Can you provide some info on how to get this dependency on Ubuntu 16.04 or if it's ok to disable that?

You can get liblockdev binary and install the .deb raw from http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libs/liblockdev1 In the mean time if the package has been dropped from ubuntu, it may be worth looking into replacing it as well.
