Hi,

didn't want to file a bug report for this, because I'm sure it is not a bug per se, but rather an issue relating to architecture.

I wanted to try whoogle on a Raspberry Pi, running Raspbian (an ARM version of Debian). I tried starting a Docker container, but that did not work because the code is compiled for x64, not ARM.

So then I tried a docker build (using the command as instructed on your webpage). That fails to build though. It fails trying to make _cffi_backend.o, because it cannot find the header file ffi.h.
I see that the -I for gcc is both /usr/include/ffi and /usr/include/libffi. I have libffi-dev installed, but both of those paths do not exist on my system. My system does have ffi.h, it's in /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

So two questions:

Do you plan to include armv71 builds?
What do I need to change to make the docker build look in the right place?

Any hints are appreciated!

Thanks!

This issue of ARM build support came up originally in #21, and there are some comments in that PR that you may find helpful. All code changes from that review are available in the branch feature/docker-updates.

Let me know if that is helpful for you -- if you end up needing further assistance I'm happy to look into it a bit more in depth.

Closing for now, feel free to reopen if you still need assistance. I'll revisit this thread when that feature branch is merged into master.
