  Building Software from the AUR on Arch Linux ARM, Part 1: Qt /Plasma Mobile apps

  Building software on the PinePhone? Sounds crazy? It sure may, but unless you have to deal with apps written in Rust, compilation does not take that long — the PinePhone has a quad-core CPU after all. To me, Arch Linux ARM (project/PinePhone images) is the obvious choice to build some programs that are listed on the MGLapps list (or similar lists that just are not available otherwise. In part, that is because the Arch Linux community embraces building apps from source with the Arch User Repository (AUR), and also because of Arch’s packaging approach, that does not require you to install a ton of extra -dev packages to build software unlike Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora do.
