Source: nqp Version: 2014.07-3 For arm64 it seems to be more a matter of updating the bundled copy of dyncall than the nqp package itself:
dpkg-source -x nqp_2014.07-3.dsc cd nqp-2014.07/3rdparty/ rm -r dyncall/ hg clone http://hg.dyncall.org/pub/dyncall/dyncall cd .. perl -i -pe 's/armel/arm64 armel/;' debian/control fakeroot debian/rules binary # it stops with "error: no previous prototype" perl -i -pe 's/ -Werror=\S+/ /g;' Makefile fakeroot debian/rules binary # "All tests successful." As you can see, there was a slight problem with warnings being treated as errors, but I expect it's easy to fix. This should identify the snapshot of dyncall I was using: changeset: 29:99eaf237568e date: Wed Sep 16 09:55:53 2015 +0200 summary: Added tag r0.9-RC2 for changeset a461b6977b52
