README error? #19

Closed Rucadi closed 6 months ago

Rucadi commented 6 months ago

In the readme there is a table where it marks that Linux aarch64 is not available, however, in the releases there is an aarch64 linux version, is this an error in the readme? Or it means the target?

The table is correct. While renkit itself already supports aarch64, Ren'Py doesn't. So you can actually install renkit on ARM-based Linux systems and it'll mostly run, but will be incapable of installing any version of Ren'Py as they don't ship with the required libraries. You can verify this yourself by downloading i.e. the latest version at the moment (8.3.0) and checking the lib folder, which you'll find lacking libraries for aarch64.

There are ARM versions available as standalone downloads, though those are specifically targeted at Raspberry Pi's and Chromebooks. I might integrate those into renkit eventually, but would rather prefer proper support for generic ARM Linux in Ren'Py proper instead. I'll send renpytom a message to see what the status of that is, but no promises at the moment.

In the meantime, I've clarified the support table in the README a bit, hopefully it's easier to parse now.
