Pull requests to correct problems with building PiPedal on other versions of Linux are welcome. -To build PiPedal, a Raspberry Pi 4B, with at least 4GB of memory is required (8GB recommended). You can build PiPedal from the command-line using CMake; but the project was originally build using -Microsoft Visual Studio Code. If you use VSCode, you will almost definitely need to hav 8GB of RAM. +To build and debug PiPedal using Visual Studio Code, you need 8GB of memory. You can build PiPedal with 2GB of memory. -You should also be able to cross-compile PiPedal easily enough, but we do not currently provide support on how to do this. Visual Studio Code provides excellent support for cross-compiling, and good support for remote -and cross-platform debugging, all of which should work with the PiPedal CMake build. In early development, PiPedal was built and debugged remotely on a Raspberry Pi, from a Windows desktop system. This should still -more-or-less work, although you may have to scramble a bit to install some of the build dependencies. +You should also be able to cross-compile PiPedal easily enough, but we do not currently provide support on how to do this. Visual Studio Code provides excellent support for cross-compiling, and good support for remote and cross-platform debugging, all of which should work with the PiPedal CMake build. However, management of ARM pakages on a Windows machine when cross-compiling is not great. Remote debugging may be a better path. -------- -[<< Which LV2 Plugins Does PiPedal Support?](WhichLv2PluginsAreSupported.md) | [Up](Documentation.md) | [Build Prerequisites >>](BuildPrerequisites.md) \ No newline at end of file +[<< Which LV2 Plugins Does PiPedal Support?](WhichLv2PluginsAreSupported.md) | [Up](Documentation.md) | [Build Prerequisites >>](BuildPrerequisites.md)
