arm architecture support example

[Alexander Sack]

Hi,

cross compilation of nodejs with snapcraft is tricky. If you manually
build/assemble your stuff you can try the instructions on cross
compiling you can find on the web, but for snapcraft the best way is
to go for native building on your pi2...

For snappy 15.04 you can get a developer ubuntu experience by using
lxd. For snappy 16.04 you can "sudo snappy enable-classic" mode and
then switch into a convenient ubuntu shell where you can apt-get
install etc. with "sudo snappy shell classic"

My etherpad-lite snap builds nicely that way. See
