Compiling instructions?

[coreybruce]

Hey there, was just wondering if there was any compiling instruction for the desktop application as I would like to build it from source for Linux arm64 and other hardware on Linux.

It's right there on the main readme page :) Let us know if it doesn't actually work.

Ahh sorry about that, totally missed it as I wasn't sure if that was building commands or not as I am also more use to using make and cmake to build stuff.

I got it to work on my desktop but I noticed a couple of issues, First was when the game is running like dadnme for example I get high cpu usage

Another issue I noticed was when you go off focus with it the application will stop responding but you can tell it to wait to bring it back to normal.

Is there anything else I need to add to help resolve/report these issue?

[adrian17]

Sorry, I was away.
I was in the middle of writing a long message, but then realized: can you try running cargo run with extra flag --release? Ruffle in debug mode is guaranteed to be very slow 😓 I'll update the build instructions to add these later.

Hi I haven't got to check yet but was this updated and fixed?

[adrian17]

Hi, not sure which issue you're referring to; if this:

I get high cpu usage

Then, as said above - please compile with --release instead.

For this:

when you go off focus with it the application will stop responding

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this yet.

Ahh ok thanks for letting me know, I'll use --release and let you know if anything goes wrong.

Is this still open?
author never returned

Hey it's still open, didn't run into any issues but I will need to test it again on Arm64

Was the instructions updated by any chance?

[coreybruce]

won't work on Arm64 Linux, ran into this issue whe nI tried running DadnMe on the Raspberry pi 4

This same issue is replicable on -g gl on even non compiled versions of ruffle, looks to have been introduced by #8297

[Futurama39]

also looks to be linked mainly to this issue with wgpu
