Hi Sven,
.
.
I just tried to follow the advice above. Compiling the
cross-compiler
(Win32 hosted) is no problem using the fullcycle target (obviously,
I
could build just the particular compiler for AArch64 instead of all
of
them, but that isn't important) - so far so good. However, it
already
fails when trying to build the aarch64-win64 rtl using this
cross-compiler, because the compiler complains about missing
assembler
aarch64-win64-clang.exe. Do we provide (compiled) win32 or win64
hosted
binutils providing support for aarch64-win64 target? FWIW, I checked
the
contrib directory on our FTP, but didn't find anything useful in
this
regard there either.
As is mentioned in my announcement mail for the target it requires
clang as assembler, not GNU binutils. And we don't *want* to ship that
as clang provides nice installers themselves.
I can't find any clang installers. Do you mean the 263 MB installer of
the whole LLVM
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-14.0.5/LLVM-14.0.5-win32.exe
or
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-14.0.5/LLVM-14.0.5-win64.exe)?
Moreover, that wouldn't provide the executable aarch64-win64-clang.exe
expected by FPC, would it (unlike the contributed cross binutils
provided by Pierre and some others for other architectures)? I believe
that we should either reconsider the idea of not providing such binaries
ourselves, or change the compiler so that it can invoke the tools as
installed by the installer (or to provide detailed steps necessary for
making this to work as the very least, but my personal opinion is that
this last option wouldn't be the right thing to do in this case).
Tomas
