Feature #17417
Updated by Ward Vandewege over 2 years ago
Outstanding problems:
* Cross-compiling our Python virtualenv packages is going to be involved. Maybe we can use https://github.com/benfogle/crossenv.
* The therubyracer gem we use (0.12.3, latest) in the api server depends on libv8 (~> 3.16.14.15) which is a version so old it only compiles on x86. Newer versions of libv8 compile on aarch64 too. We should migrate to `mini_racer` apparently.
* The npm-rails gem (used in WB1) is causing problems when doing a native compilation on arm64:
