Ren'py on Ubuntu 16.04 / arm64?

#1 Post by chensterrain »

I have zero understanding whatsoever of Linux, so apologies if this is an idiotic question! I downloaded the latest release of Ren'py and attempted to run the renpy.sh file, but got the following:

Code: Select all

Ren'Py platform files not found in:

/home/dextop/renpy-7.3.2-sdk/lib/linux-aarch64

Please compile the platform files using the instructions in README.md
or point them to an existing installation using ./after_checkout.sh <path>.

Alternatively, please set RENPY_PLATFORM to a different platform.
Is Ren'py not compatible with this version of linux, or am I just being an idiot? I have no idea how I'd go about recompiling anything. Thanks in advance!

Correct, we don't support arm64 at the moment.

How are you running on an ubuntu arm64 system? That just seems like a weird environment to me - some sort of chromebook?

It's running on a Samsung Tab S4, but Linux on there is only in beta at the moment, so I guess it's not a shock that it's not supported. Thanks for the reply, PyTom!
