Anyone run into problems using Clarion with the ARM64 processor. Just had a client install the program - no install error - but display doesn’t show when pgm is ran.
Since the ARM CPU is different to Intel (that Clarion is compiled for) and has different instruction sets, I would not expect a Clarion program to run at all. At most I’d expect a crash.
It may be possible to use emulation according to Google AI (see below), I think you are better off sticking with Intel and compatibles. Even if ARM worked, it presumably would be slow due to the emulation layer. Also make sure the display is not off screen due to some ini co-ordinates.
AI says: Here’s a breakdown of Windows on Arm:
- Architecture:
Windows on Arm is designed for Arm-based processors, which are different from the x86 chips used in most traditional Windows laptops and desktops.
- Compatibility:
While Windows on Arm supports native Arm apps, it also offers emulation for x86 and x64 apps, allowing you to run most of your existing Windows software.
I’ve run into no problems so far using a SnapDragon ARM64 PC. In fact is my favorite laptop right now.
The emulation layer seems to run clarion programs (and clarion 12) just fine (so far).
The emulation layer is pretty impressive and fast. In a few years i think intel is gonna be on the outs
Windows for ARM runs every app Ive ever tried just fine on my Apple silicon mac.
