Adobe Pagemaker was part of Adobe's attempt to develop an open-source application that would run on the Amiga OS. Cieslewicz explained that Adobe Pagemaker was part of a small group of products released as freeware. According to Adobe Systems CEO and co-founder Jim Cieslewicz, Adobe Pagemaker was "part of a series of products" released in 1985 under the name Symphony.
To test the builds on Windows 10 instead of Wine I’m also going to need a license etc.Adobe Pagemaker is no longer part of Adobe Systems Incorporated, as reported by Adobe Systems VP of marketing communications, David Glazier. For instance, I was able to do about 1h of work in the evenings and also needed a RPi. Also, providing ARM builds is sadly a question of resources.
While Microsoft is doing an awesome work with porting the OS and the tools, the net is still full of desinformatin such as “Windows is x86/圆4 only” so a transition is likely going to take a lot of time =/.
You are doing a great job encouraging projects to transition to ARM! I really enjoy the architecture and it should become widespread.
Yes, Notepad++ should provide ARM64 builds exclusively. I agree with you fully! In fact, I only did an ARM32 build, because I was eager to use it on the RPi =) I understand that the relevance of ARM32 builds is otherwise quite limited and Windows 10 is ARM64 only. If I’m interpreting your post correctly, you advocate for Notepad++ taking the ARM64 route directly. What I can’t stand is the Windows 10 GUI because I can’t really tell buttons from text labels. It’s really a great overview =) BTW, in the article I strongly identify myself as a Windows user and have been for many years. In fact, I’d like to link to your post from within the article if you don’t mind.
Hello Please excuse my absense, I’m not very often on the PC during the holidays.Thank you for taking the time to respond and provide this very nice technical summary. While you’re clear about your distaste for Windows, I still thought you’d be amused to hear that the Windows Subsystem for Linux will happily run your full suite of ARM64 Linux toys on ARM64 Windows. Any further work WINE does to support it will keep working. So, if Notepad++ added ARM64 to its list of platforms it generates binaries for, then the Notepad++ end of things would be done and you’d only have to worry about WINE support.Ī corollary to the SDK release is that the ARM64 Windows ABI is published, so it’s stable. It has an officially published ABI (that a project like WINE could use), a full Win32 API surface, and now a full SDK as pointed out (out of beta, so no WindowsSDKDesktopARMSupport needed). Windows 10 on ARM, on the other hand, is ARM64 full-desktop Windows (though the only BSPs I know of are for Qualcomm’s 835 and 850 SoCs). Since IoT Edition is a trimmed down Windows intended to run UWPs, it might be lacking functionality that Notepad++ needs (a la Windows RT). Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi is necessarily Windows 10 IoT Edition and ARM32 (AFAIK, since I haven’t heard about a 64-bit RPi board support package coming out). Still, it probably makes porting easier (and probably made nataz’ StarCraft binary translation easier). Microsoft only officially supports ARM32 UWPs. A few thoughts:ĪRM32 WoW shouldn’t be needed since not much has been published…that I’m aware of.
Your Windows software on the RPi post was enlightening. Hi here as a long-time fan of Notepad++, but I also have a small professional interest in this question: I’m a Microsoft engineer that works on Windows 10 on ARM, especially on encouraging more projects to publish for it.
