Summary0001480: Error building on ARM
DescriptionTrying to build VPA on ARM gives an error.
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5434/12575434/build.log

Comparing VPA code with Skychart code I see that synapse in VPA is older and doesn't carry patches for ARM architectures.

Is it possible to update that?

I never try to run VPA or VMA on ARM.
It is easy to fix synapse but I have many doubt the GLscene Opengl component work on ARM.
I will try on my Pi2 and make the fix if possible.

revision 98 update the components to the same level as skychart:
http://sourceforge.net/p/virtualplanet/code/98

revision 99 fix a cpu dependent compilation error:
http://sourceforge.net/p/virtualplanet/code/99/

After that you can compile and install the program.
But when running on a Raspberry Pi2 it immediately crash with a X Window error.

I will not work more on the problem for now because the GLscene library as manifestly be designed for Intel processor only, and this is probably a huge work to make it working on ARM.

I keep the issue open for reference.
