# How to build duniter-v2s for arm
Cross-compile Duniter to arm (e.g. Raspberry Pi).
## With Docker
1. Create a docker image that contains the build environment
```bash
@@ -13,3 +17,20 @@ docker build -t duniter-v2s-arm-builder -f docker/cross-arm.Dockerfile .
```
then, get the final binary at `target/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/duniter`.
## Without Docker
**Warning**: armv7 (default for Raspberry Pi) is **not** supported. Linux on RPi can be easily switched to aarch64, please search how to do so on the Internet.
This produces a musl build: the resulting executable is static, hence more portable than a dynamic one. It will be compatible with systems older than the compilation host.
```bash
# Install the tools
rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl --toolchain nightly-2023-08-23-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
sudo dpkg --add-architecture arm64
sudo apt update
sudo apt install musl-dev:arm64 musl-tools g++-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
# Cross-compile
CARGO_TARGET_AARCH64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_MUSL_LINKER=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc cargo build --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-musl --release
```
