Run c/c++ compiled files and package manager
Hi, i think it'd be cool if oc2 computers could run c++ aplications and havning a package manager to install things like gcc.
There are no plan for PM AFAIK but you can cross compile programs for RISC-V and transfer them in
OC2 computers already can run any binaries that were compiled for RISC-V architecture (You can check this website for musl toolchain, if you want to build programs on C/C++).
a package manager would require real internet, which isnt implemented yet.
also gcc wouldn't fit into 8 MB
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/riscv64/gcc
the alpine linux riscv64 gcc package (does not include g++ or support for any other languages besides C) is 70.89 MB
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/riscv64/g++
adding g++ for C++ support would add an extra 20.55 MB
compiling will be very slow. if you really want to run c/c++ it will be best to just cross compile and transfer the files using the export/import card
its a bug, not intentional, someone made a python implementation that doesn't corrupt data but i dont think they released it, just mentioned that they did so its not the api, its the lua program
nevermind they did release it https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ToMe25/87926996d7775cf273b6346ea19ac529/raw/182fdaed90b47783c87fbdd0e18b9b8108526b19/import.py
there is also the Coverett library which adds a program thats meant to replace the stock import/export lua program. the library also has binding for the hlapi for you can make c/c++ programs that can interact with peripherals
