Starting trunk's top-level make with the correct options (crossall, CPU_TARGET, CROSSOPT fot the target flags, etc) and a 3.0.0 should already result in a native compiler for Aarch64-linux, as the Makefile already does what you described here (compiling a cross compiler first and then a native compiler). At the end there should be a ppcrossaarch64.exe and a ppcaarch64 (no .exe!) [Note: I don't know whether the compiler suffix is really aarch64, as I've never worked with it yet]. There won't be any bootstrap compiler however until the next major version containing the new platform is released as trunk is a moving target (it can happen from one revision to the next that trunk can no longer be compiled by the previous revision). > 3: Some makefiles of Lazarus where not (yet) able to compile for aarch64 (as I remember correctly: main and lcl/interfaces had no aarch64-linux target). You should raise this issue either on the Lazarus mailing list or the bug tracker. Regards, Sven
