I build most of Megapixels _on_ the PinePhone using the convergence dock, it's just easier since you need hardware access to debug hardware things.
The build time for megapixels for a clean build is maybe 5 seconds, way less on incremental builds. Editor runs fast, Test cycle is incredibly fast.
It's certainly a lot faster than I've ever been able to test android apps.
- ben-schaaf 6y agoSeconded with building Megapixels on the PinePhone - though I do the actual editing itself on another machine. I have however found that doing clean builds of libraries like libhandy (specifically for building flatpaks) is a lot faster using qemu on a desktop.
- swiley 6y agoI remember feeling like cross compilers for handheld devices were silly in 2006 when I had a Zarus. The only reason not to develop on your Pinephone is because it's in your pocket and you can't be bothered to pull it out and hook a keyboard up.
- e12e 6y agoMaybe I missed it - but I don't think there is a link from the article/site to https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels/ https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels/ ? It's a bit odd considering phrases like: > It's basically my first C project, first v4l2 project and first GTK3 project but I started it because nobody who actually knows any of these things want to, and so far nobody who knows these things has stepped in to do better (...) (I probably do not know any of these things better - but if I did, and wanted to help, I'd probably click on the link to the github profile, not find megapixels source... And move on?)
