Arduino IDE on RPi4 SlackwareARM -current using modified Slackbuild
That went well, I'm quite pleased.
I installed the Arduino IDE ver 1.8.10 on RPi4 on SlackwareARM -current, and it seems to be working fine.
1. Installed Sarpi's jdk-8u221 (thanks Exaga)
2. Modified the arduino Slackbuild files arduino.info [ver 1.8.3 => 1.8.10] and arduino.SlackBuild [ver update and added arm architecture] (thanks Mario Preksavec for the arduino Slackbuild)
The Slackbuild symlinks /opt/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 to /lib/libncurses.so.5 (for 32 bit; /lib64/... if 64 bit.)
In -current, libtinfo has been split from libncurses, so I disabled the symlink
/opt/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 to /lib/libncurses.so.5
and generated a new symlink
/opt/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 to /lib/libtinfo.so.6
With that said, I still should check what libtinfo/libncurses is used for. The arduino IDE did everything I needed it for before generating the new symlink, so not sure if this symlink step mattered to me. TBD.
Also: jdk updated on Sarpi's site, and now on my RPi, to jdk-8u241
