cmake stuck at "building juceide"

[cuanyu]

I am trying to build surge on rpi 3B. After I" cmake -Bbuild -DLINUX_ON_ARM=True", rpi3 just freezes at "building jucetable" forever. Here is the output of the command:

pi@rpi3:~/surge $ cmake -Bbuild -DLINUX_ON_ARM=True

The rpi3 is running 5.15.61-v7+ and is updated before the building. Is it simpliy because rpi3 is just too slow to handle building juceaide? Is it possbile to not to build juceaide at this stage?

What should I check for the issue of this problem? Thanks!

How long was forever? Did you give it 30 minutes? Was it taking cpu in the build?

I build on a rpi4b every now and then and the build is slow but finishes eventually.

but also I think surge inky runs on 64 bit pi os

you may have better luck with surge 19 which you can grab from a tag in this repo - it didn’t use juce (but also was missing loads of cool new things (but those new things may struggle in a pi3))

anyway it’s almost time to get my Christmas lights together so I will be booting my pi soon and will check head in a pi4 the

I did a build on a pi 4b 64 bit and juceaide took about 10 minutes but finished. I think you just need to be more patient. I'm going to close this since i had no problem building in a pi. if you get an error after an hour of waiting please reopen!
