How To Install Box86 on Manjaro Arm64

Good News,

Finally I am successfully compiled the Box86 on Arm64 without using Qemu (No Need for Binfmt_misc compiled in your Kernel). The performance is quite promising as I am successfully installed Sketchup 7.1 and Sketchup 8 with very good graphic performance despite of using LLVM Pipe. At the moment I did this in Armbian, but in Theory Manjaro should also work.

And The Good News is that compiling Box86 in Aarch64 is quite easy compared to compiling “Qemu-User-Static” and “Hangover”, yet the result is quite unbelievably fast. It reminds me of kind of like “Rosetta 2” on Apple Silicon (It still needs some improvements).

The script is the same as my previous post, except remove everything related to Qemu and use debootstrap debian buster armhf, then you are good to go.

Here’s my report in Armbian for those of you that want to try it quickly:

Many Thanks to Ptitseb for bringing this technology into reality!

Super Awesome
