FBX SDK on ARM architecture

[miguelcosta_mapc]

Can I compile a program using FBX SDK libraries for an ARM architecture?

Hi Miguel,

we do have an ARM version of the FBX SDK library for iOS and Windows Store but we don't provide the FBX SDK for Android.

On Windows, you will need to download the "store" or "UAP" suffixed packages.

Hi Roberto,

I want to use the FBX SDK on a iMX6 (development board with ARM architecture) running an embedded Linux. Is it possible?

Information about iMX6: http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/i.mx-applications-process...

I doubt! For what I understand, you would need a Linux build of the FBX SDK library targeting ARM architecture and we don't offer it.

Roberto,

Do you have any suggestions for solving this problem?

Hi Miguel,

unfortunately, I don't have any viable suggestion. The FBX SDK libraries for Linux are compiled for the Intel/AMD architectures using the GCC compiler (we provide both the 32 and 64 bit). If you run the file command on the .so, you will get: "ELF 32-bit LSB, Intel 80386" or the "ELF 64-bit LSB, x86-64".

So, if there is a way to find an emulator that can run i386/amd64 then you may have a chance (although, running through an emulator will certainly be a lot slower). I would not count too much on this solution but it is the only one I can think of.

Why you don't support arm processors?
Is it planned doing build for Android?

Hi gabberr666,

Unfortunately, this support is not on our current roadmap. 

However, we keep your suggestion in mind and we'll advice the community if such support comes in the future.

Bests regards,

Bump...

It seems Microsoft may be meeting the community half way with an ARM version of Windows:
