AltME: REBOL3

I wrote an answer here on how to get R3 to run on arm64-capable hardware running an arm64 OS (like the Rock64 or ODROID-C2 running Ubuntu for arm64) back on 21-Dec-2016. But I left out an important step. After adding the armhf architecture, make sure to run 'apt update'! Or it won't find the packages...
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:armhf libncurses5:armhf libstdc++6:armhf
This should take care of the message "unable to execute ./r3: No such file or directory".
BTW, I have an armhf version of ./r3 that you can download on your device by the following:
wget http://respectech.com/odroid/r3
Have fun!

Why would you want to run r3alpha when you can run ren-c?
Bo
Not sure what the limitations of ren-c are. Do you have to call it from a C program?
GrahamC
It's a superset of r3alpha but with the bugs removed!
And there's an armhf build available
There has been a version that can be linked into a C++ program but that's not currently available.
GiuseppeC
Graham, where could I find all the changes/fixing of REN-C ?
Pekr
You would have to properly follow HostileFork. He changes concepts here or there, some changes seem to be fundamental, mostly low level, difficult to say. You can reach him at the Stack Overflow chat.
Bo
When Red reaches 0.7, I'm probably going to switch most of my development to that anyway.
GrahamC
@Guiseppe, there's a change log but I'm not sure if it's being maintained.

GrahamC
well, Cyphre was asking for $1500-$2000 to update Rebol3 TLS - I'm asking for at least TLS 1.2 and server side SSL.  And we now have half of that pledged.
If you wish to pledge, add your selves here https://forum.rebol.info/t/updating-tls-bounty/478/10
GrahamC
Oh, and if anyone else wants to take on this job for a cheaper price, please speak up!  :)

Gregg
I have always admired your optimisim Graham. :^)
GiuseppeC
1500 USD = 1 month of work for europe, 5-6 months in CZEC republic. I think Cyphre is the perfect candidate as this bounty  let him be dedicated only to this task for a vast amount of time nad he has the needed knowledge. If he will not work full job he could work on this project even for a full year. Hope our group of people will grew and we will able to raise more money for development tasks.
Arnold
Or ask the new millionairs at Fullstack to fund this project....
Pekr
1500 is slightly above the average salary in CZ, programmers here have more. So, 5-6 months is really unrealistic here :-)

GrahamC
I read that differently.  30,000 czk top average salary which is USD1500 so only a month's wages.
GiuseppeC
This is for the very high skilled people working on money rich areas and money rich areas.
We are a small group of people and despite cyphre is very high skilled we are neither a big company nor a rich economic niche. You should aspect a much lower income for jobs in our area until we become a microsoft adversary ;-) When big companies will be again on REBOL (RED?) you can rise how much you could get from the market as wage rate/time equivalence for your skill over a bounty.
