Hi everyone,
I need a little bit of assistance so I can stamp out these bugs for you.
As silly as this sounds, I've mislaid my Arm-32 SD card so I have to develop on
AArch64 exclusively on the Raspberry Pi. As a result I only have the AArch64
implementation of FPC installed. Is there a way to cross-
compile AArch64 to Arm, or better, install an Arm version of FPC alongside my
AArch64 version? I gather it's not quite as simple as running i386 on x86_64.
Admittedly my expertise with Linux is still lacking a bit,
especially when it comes to getting the right software installed.

P.S. Trying to run "make clean all CPU_TARGET=arm" doesn't seem to work properly - gcc
returns errors (doesn't recognise "-m64") and CPU_TARGET seems to get reset back to
aarch64.
P.P.S. If I find my Arm-32 SD card again, I'll probably switch back to that for
the testing and debugging.
You need to install arm-linux binutils (don't know what the package is
called) and then you need to invoke make like this:
make all CPU_TARGET=arm BINUTILSPREFIX=arm-linux- FPMAKEOPT="-T 4" -j 4
Note 1: don't use "clean" and "all" together with parallel compilation
(the "-j 4")
Note 2: your prefix might be different, e.g. arm-linux-gnueabi- or
something like that. Best try to execute as/ld using tab completion in
the shell.
In theory it should also be possible to run 32-bit ARM applications on
AArch64 though I have not tested that yet.
Regards,
Sven
