Consider supporting Windows 10 on ARM?

Open KexyBiscuit opened this issue 6 years ago • 18 comments

Windows 10 on ARM has been released for over a year, and a few apps have already released their ARM native versions, such as PowerShell/PowerShell#5664 and dotnet/announcements#29.

bump! at the moment there is no way to use scoop to install arm64 apps.

The lack of ARM Windows devices with most people is the main blocker for this... If you have an ARM device, consider making a PR!

A LOT of Windows-on-ARM tools are released in the last months as MS visual studio supports it also out of the box by now... some of the same tools stopped to ship 32bit versions, which was the "fall-back" for us Windows-ARM users...

Other package managers are starting to support the Windows-ARM arch... for me it feels like SCOOP is falling behind (soon) :|

It would be great if someone with the needed know-how could enhance SCOOP to support ARM soon..

I'm a proud owner of such a device. I'd be happy the test things and give feedback. Pls let me know how / what to test...

What is needed for Scoop to support ARM64? It seems like there is already support for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 apps, would adding a third arch be that complicated?

I don't think any of our core devs have an ARM system, so if you have an ARM device, please consider submitting a PR!

I do have ARM64 based windows boxes, but I do NOT have the know-how which code has to be changed / adopted to support ARM64?!

Nevertheless, I would be very much willing to support ARM64 support with tests if someone pushes a branch or has another GIT clone somewhere...

What if I could help some of the core devs get access to a Windows on ARM system, @rasa?

That would be pretty awesome, @sirredbeard! Not only would it help Scoop core manager, it would also accelerate the adoption of Arm builds into around 3000 package manifests across the ScoopInstaller org.

@sirredbeard That would be awesome. @ScoopInstaller/maintainers : Would anyone be willing to spearhead this effort? I can assist, but don't have the bandwidth to take point.

I could help if the connection to VM is stable enough for me...

I'd be willing to help too!

Thank you, received!

Got it, thanks!

PR is up. Some minor things are left, but it should be usable. Please test and let me know!
