[FR] Support for Linux Host on ARM #1752
Description
Activity
@DanAlbert I noticed that this ticket is still open. Is it open because ARM support is being considered?
No change since my last comment. It's open because it's a reasonable request that has yet to become a priority.
Reacted by Ryan Bebb and DamianHey @DanAlbert , any updates on this since your last comment?
No. We will post an update when there's an update. We're well aware that people want this, but the infrastructure we need to make it happen just doesn't exist.

on Oct 20, 2025 Hmm this is my first time seeing this issue, but let’s get things sorted out.
Unofficially, you can use my project Android NDK Custom which builds almost everything (except
simpleperf) for a variety of unusual architectures, including aarch64.TL;DR of the concept: It uses Zig's LLVM Backend and musl libc to build binaries and replaces the original ones.
Hopefully, Google releases official aarch64 NDK builds soon.
I see a linux AArch64 toolchain being prepared: will that be in the next NDK 30 beta or some subsequent NDK? Looking forward to using it, as AArch64 machines proliferate, currently using the macOS arm64 build too without issue.

I'm looking to use the NDK in an ARM Linux Docker container running on an Apple Silicon computer. However, it would be great to have support for any Linux Host on ARM.
Components that need Linux Arm support:
- ndk-build[ ] LLVM toolchain[ ] CMake[ ] Ninja[ ] Make[ ] Python[ ] yasm (probably switch to nasm)[ ] shader-tools[ ] simpleperf
We've brought up a linux/arm64 NDK and removed some tools in r31 in the process. Stay tuned for the actual release announcement about Linux/arm64 support.
