Raspberry Pi support

[mterencelao]

Builds for ARM64 boards are much appreciated. I've put together a portable computer using Raspberry Pi and happen to own a Pokit Pro. Having this running on my Raspberry Pi would help reduce my dependence on phones.

Hi @mterencelao, have you tried it? I don't have access to RPi at the moment, but I would expect it the build and run okay, as long as the RPi's Bluetooth adapter is compatible with Bluez.

If you get a chance to try it, let us know how it goes. If you run into any issues, let us know, and I might be able to help 😄

Are you able to specify which Qt libraries are needed to build from source? I'm running Arch Linux ARM.

[pcolby]

I'm not sure about Arch, but as an example, this is the full set of packages you'd want for Ubuntu's Qt5:

qtbase5-dev qtbase5-doc-dev qtconnectivity5-dev qtconnectivity5-doc-html qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools

Or for Qt6:

qt6-base-dev qt6-base-dev-tools qt6-connectivity-dev qt6-l10n-tools qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools

Additionally:

• for code coverage reporting: lcov
• for documentation: doxygen

Cheers.

It builds and runs successfully! But my files are all over the place. I'll have to find a suitable external storage before I attempt again. But first test got me this result:

$ ./dokit status

How do you install this, by the way? Or is there no such thing as installing?

[pcolby]

There's currently no official installer. It you have linuxdeploy installed, then you can run: make cli-appimage to build an AppImage that you can deploy to other Linux machines.

What kind of install options would you be interested in? make install? A *.deb? etc? (Just curious / gauging interest 🙂)
