so it seems likely that sometime in the next month the planet computers gemini will ship, dual booting android and debian stretch and, apparently, allowing linux apps to run under android (though we do not yet know whether the inverse is true, which would be useful for, say, telephone stuff).
and amid my excitement i realize that there's a huge amount i don't know re. running linux applications on ARM machines. i've been spoiled by the ability on x86 machines to be able to add a repository to sources.lst and everything just works. my guess is that i'll not be able simply to add the trinity debian repository on this gadget and simply do an apt-get to make it all work.
so, then, for those experienced in different architectures: is it likely i could simply recompile TDE on the machine itself and therefore get working binaries (presuming the availability of a compiler for the gadget), or is there more -- much, much more, probably -- that i'll need to do? the whole purpose of the exercise is to have TDE running usefully on a pocket-sized device, and i realize now that i don't even know if binaries would have to be specific to a particular device or just what.
Hi,
I already ran TDE on Raspberry Pi model B and on a chinese ARM netbook.
These were 32 bit ARM, but I don't see why TDE couldn't be compiled for 64 bit ARM.
Have a great day!

TDE is already successfully compiled for ARM64 - see Preliminary Stable Builds repository for Debian Jessie and Stretch.
Cheers

Yippee!!
I've found binaries for LibreOffice, GThumb, and GIMP, so with TDE all my requirements are met!
So far -- and of course I don't have the device nor have I ever seen one in person nor has anyone I know ever seen one in person -- it's all proceeding perfectly. I expect this to change . . .

not likely - Sailfish uses Dalvik (emulator for android apps) and has integrated it in their licensed products, so Dalvik is OEM license bound (thanks to google licensing model I guess)

no need to compile as you have
[DIR] binary-armel/ 05-Nov-2016 23:37 - http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian/dists/squeeze/main/
if you can run debian or one of the supported platforms on it, you just add trinity to your source.list and install TDE (follow the installation notes https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Category:Documentation#Installation)
