arm build (raspian et al.)

Hi,
Thanks for providing homematic-manager.
I noticed the builds are amd64-only. Could you provide source and/or builds for armhf architecture?
It would be highly appreciated.
cheers

It's not really practically possible to crosscompile this project (cause of node-gyp limitations), so I can't build that on a CI Service like Travis or Appveyor, they only have x86 arch available. Doing it in an emulated env via qemu is also not really practically doable on travis. Until know I'm not aware of any service that offers travis/appveyor-like functionality free of charge and supports arm arches.

So for now: you have to build it yourself on the target arch. Basically that means:

• install latest nodejs 8.x (I recommend to use https://github.com/tj/n for node installation)
• make sure that build-essential (gcc, make, ...) and python/gyp is installed
• clone the hm-manager repo
• run npm install
• run npm run dist
• find the build in the dist/ folder.

Fair enough!
Thank you.
Won't do it right now, though (time-constraints).
cheers
