I can not build on Debian Buster AArch 64 architecture

[JanuszChmiel]

Please, does somebody of us know, if there could be any chance to build your excellent Tuner app also for Debian Buster AArch64? I Am able to build your product for latest Arch Linux, for The Ubuntu Jammi. BUt unfortunately, Debian Buster and very probably Ubunfu Focal also can not be used. I love Android devices in combination with The Termux and Proot. Because it take much more less energy while using charger to charge build in battery. This is very actual in todays energetic crisis. Unfortunately, I Am helpless to use FIrefox available for up to date Linux distros. It uses many new memory shared related functions and Mozilla has adapted some code from Google chromium to manage memory. It is impossible to use it effectively with Orca and in Proot environment. Too slow interactions, too much errors, very probably due to The incompatible memory management of latest Firefox. So I must really use older Firefox available on Ubuntu Focal or Debian Buster. And I want to use your excellent radio too. Sure, I could install latest Ubuntu Jammi to use only your player. But because I love Mate-desktop-environment from The bottom of my heart so much, it allocates some GB of space even after cleaning packages cache. Here are many errors when I have tried to build for Debian Buster. Very probably, your source code call up to date modern versions of The Vala components. root@localhost:/home/tuner/build# ninja install [0/1] Regenerating build files.

If some Vala elite developers would release new Vala which would allow to produce statically compiled binaryes? But I AM afraid, that my wish can not come true, because so complex programming language object oriented could not be safely recoded to produce statically compiled binaryes.
