n1ese,
Tell us more ... but maybe it should be a new topic?
fpc & lazarus ... Thats the Free Pascal Compiler, that's written in Pascal and its development environment if I remember correctly.
It might be more educational for us all to help you help yourself :)

Trying to figure out how to get fpc & lazarus built for my arm64 devices. I have some applications I need to compile that require the Free Pascal Compiler. From what I know, it can't be compiled natively on arm64 and has to be cross-compiled from say an x86 platform. I only have arm64 devices.
There is an ebuild for both but it says it doesn't support arm64.
| Code: | >>> Unpacking source...
* ERROR: dev-lang/fpc-3.0.4::gentoo failed (unpack phase):
* This ebuild doesn't support arm64. |
Thoughts on how to figure this out? |

| Ok, I dug into google a bit deeper. Looks like v3.0.4 of fpc doesn't support aarch64 at all. 3.2.0 adds support for aarch64 but there is no ebuild for it so I will try compiling it manually. Im not clear if it can be compiled natively but I will give it a go. |

n1ese,
The fpc needs the fpc to build itself, so as you say, to get started someone somewhere has to cross compile frc.
| fpc-3.0.4.ebuild: | DESCRIPTION="Free Pascal Compiler"
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/freepascal/fpcbuild-${PV}.tar.gz
mirror://sourceforge/freepascal/fpc-${PV}.source.tar.gz
amd64? ( mirror://sourceforge/freepascal/${P}.x86_64-linux.tar )
x86? ( mirror://sourceforge/freepascal/${P}.i386-linux.tar )
doc? ( mirror://sourceforge/freepascal/Documentation/${PV}/doc-html.tar.gz -> ${P}-doc-html.tar.gz )" |
so the ebuild starts off by fetching the binary fpc for your arch.
The Lazarus fourms suggest that it can be made to work but that looks non trivial.

Sweet, there is a binary for fpc 3.2.0rc1. Hopefully lazarus will compile fine next.
| Code: | n1ese@ganymede ~ $ tar -xvf Downloads/fpc-3.2.0rc1.aarch64-linux.tar
fpc-3.2.0rc1.aarch64-linux/
fpc-3.2.0rc1.aarch64-linux/doc-pdf.tar.gz
fpc-3.2.0rc1.aarch64-linux/install.sh
fpc-3.2.0rc1.aarch64-linux/demo.tar.gz
fpc-3.2.0rc1.aarch64-linux/binary.aarch64-linux.tar |

well, well.. this was much easier than I thought. fpc & laz compiled and installed correctly.
Release versions do not work with aarch64 it seems. I downloaded fpc-3.2.0rc1 aarch64 binary package and checked out the svn trunk of lazarus. All seems well.
