Binary release for ARM (Raspberry Pi)

[cpixl]

It would be nice to have an ARM build, so we can use it on devices like Raspberry Pi.

Sounds great. I don't have a ARM system at hand, so any help would be appreciated.

I actually do have a ARM system at hand...

Here is fd on my rooted Xiaomi Mi vacuum cleaner 😄

If someone wants to try it out, the ARMv7 (>= Raspberry Pi 2) binary is here: https://shark.fish/share/fd

@sharkdp Tested OK on both Raspberry Pi 3 and ODROID XU4.
Thanks!

Tested it on a Raspberry 2. Works like a charm! 👍
What kind of help do you need to provide fd as part of regular releases?

We probably have to do something very similar to ripgrep where ARM builds are now part of each release (see linked issue above and related pull request). If somebody would like to work on that, I'd be happy to mentor.

Starting with the v7.1.0 release, we now provide pre-built ARMv7 binaries!
