I was just wondering if there were any easy ways to compile Julia for aarch64. I have found JuliaBerry, which has a guide on how to locally compile Julia on the Pi itself, but this will take almost an entire day. Is there any way of cross-compiling on my main workstation (running Windows, but will likely use WSL and Debian to actually do the compilation)?
Mostly this is just part of a hobby project using a small SLURM cluster. It would be nice to have a self containing installation of julia that can be shared between all the nodes.
I must be missing why using the official binaries is not an option then. You don’t have to compile anything.
Also, cross-compiling Julia isn’t really feasible at the moment: you can actually cross-compile the executable, but to build the sysimage (which is by far the bottleneck of the process) you have to run it.
