[DEV] Electron support for ppc64le
« on: November 04, 2025, 05:47:04 pm »
Electron is a well known web-based stack for cross-platform application development. It is not my cup of tea but many popular apps such as VS Code, Atom, Slack, etc are built with it. So having it support ppc64le upstream is definitely a big win for us all.

There is a ticket https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/15691 to gather efforts from the community to get the support implemented. lex-ibm has been maintaining his own build script which is known to work well up to v37. Because he is occupied with other priorities, it would be great if any member could give him a hand to:

* Get his build script to support latest v39
* Extract all patches and submit PRs upstream
