Request ARM/AArch64 Linux builds for running in Termux (Android/X11) #96

Description:
Currently, LibreSprite provides prebuilt Linux binaries only for x86/x64 architectures. However, many users (including myself) would like to run LibreSprite on Android via Termux with X11, which requires ARMv8 (AArch64) or ARMv7 builds.

Use Case:
Running LibreSprite on Android devices (without the APK) allows for better integration with Termux, keyboard/mouse support, and flexibility in a desktop-like environment (e.g., Termux:X11 or VNC).

Possible Solutions:

  1. Provide ARM64 (and optionally ARMv7) builds in the GitHub releases alongside x86/x64 binaries.
  2. Document how to cross-compile LibreSprite for ARM architectures (if prebuilt binaries are impractical).
  3. Add Termux-specific build instructions in the wiki (as Termux has some library differences).

Additional Context:

  • Many other desktop apps (e.g., GIMP, Krita) can run on Termux via X11 if built for ARM.
  • The current APK version may lack features or flexibility compared to the desktop version.

Would this be feasible to include in future releases? Thank you for considering!
