conda install magic is not working for aarch64 about magic-feedstock HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey Mohamed, thanks for the bug report! It seems we're only building it for "linux64" which is just x86. I think it'll be easy to update the recipe and have it try to compile it for aarach64 also. However, do you have experience compiling or using it on aarch64? Do you know if we should expect additional challenges with compiling it?

I'm also curious about the use case for running it on a Raspberry Pi? I mean it sounds cool, but do you mind sharing your plan for it? Also, are there other architecture or systems that we should be trying to enable?

It seems all we need to do is update the preprocessor selector in the conda recipe's meta.yaml to not skip for both linux64 and aarach64.

So the build of the meta.yaml will now be the following if we only want to add aarch64.

build:
  number: 0
  skip: true  # [not linux64 and not aarch64]

@curtisma I gave it a try in #15, it seems we also have to enable cross compilation in conda-forge.yml: https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/conda_forge_yml.html#build-platform
