It’s time for a new laptop and I see there are more options for laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor. Since it has a different architecture than Intel or AMD, I would love to know if anyone has experience using Avogadro on a Windows laptop powered with a Snapdragon CPU.
At the moment, we don’t have a native Windows-ARM build. GitHub (Microsoft) finally made build servers available on April 14th: Windows arm64 hosted runners now available in public preview - GitHub Changelog
My guess (based on my Mac ARM laptops) is that it’ll be pretty good, but it will be a week or three before I can see about a Windows ARM build.
(The next release should also have some linux-arm builds too.)
Thanks Geoff,
Is Avogadro 1.2 also supported, or will the ARM build apply only to Avogadro 2?
We have no way to build or support Avogadro 1.2. It might run under emulation, but I don’t know how well.
