Application Software for ARM
#3

You may need to alter some compiler flags, but it should all compile just fine.

Building from sources isn't always easy.  If it were, there would be more packages available.  For example, a member here posted that Atom wouldn't build.  With products such as a Pinebook and Pinebook Pro, there going to be users who are not going to want to build anything from source.
