Run meteor on Raspberry pi (ARM6)

Question

I tried to install meteorJS on my raspberry pi and I get this error during the installation :

"Unable to install on unsupported architecture Meteor: armv6l
 Installation failed. ".

There is a solution by modifying the file "admin/generate-dev-bundle.sh" on the meteor core to regenerate the bundle, but what should we put in this file?

Do you have another solution?

Thank you

FYI, I've put together a fork of meteor that supports the Raspberry Pi, along with full installation instructions. You can find it here: https://github.com/IGx89/meteor

Answer 2

I created some update to meteor dev bundler so that you can generate runtimes for yet unsupported architectures. [Update] I will support the meteor realease tags in future as long as they will supprt ARM by themself. Checkout branches on my GitHub repo [Update]. [Update2] Added infos from tumblr site[Update2]

Quote by Nick Martin in verbatim from Issue #442 in the Meteor github repository:

No immediate plans to add official ARM support. In theory, all the dependencies 
should build on ARM, so you could try building the dev bundle on your platform. 
See https://github.com/meteor/meteor#slow-start-for-developers

All required files to build this (yes, even admin/generate-dev-bundle.sh) is available in the repository above. Akshat references another SO question that does mention how to modify it. Quoting this in verbatim:

Essentially, remove all the instructions regarding building node.js, and all references to a tempdir, so you end up just installing node packages. I will post mine as a gist once it's all figured out...

Just give it a spin. It's even possible you can arrive to a solution faster. You never know until you try.
