xidel on arm aarch64

[6F3ryYosFLJU]

Hello,

I need to run my program on aarch64 arm machine, but the current build for linuxarm is on armhf, therefore no way to run the program. I tried to build the program myself, but hit some problems.

bash-5.1# ./build.sh
-- Building...
xquery__parse.pas(35,37) Fatal: Can't find unit strutils used by xquery__parse
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppcarm returned an error exitcode
bash-5.1# uname -a
Linux eec827aa2463 5.15.30-0-virt #1-Alpine SMP Wed, 23 Mar 2022 11:38:35 +0000 aarch64 Linux
bash-5.1#

Is it possible to have build on arm aarch64 as well? Or can i get some insight on how to compile?

Thanks in advance.

That unit is part of FreePascal

If it is not found, it is not installed properly. It needs to have search paths in fpc.cfg

Hello, thanks for the reply. Do you mean there is already build on arm aarch64? I only see xidel-0.9.9.20220131.8335.4e6fcea4d02e.linuxarm.tar.gz which is 32-bit ARM armhf. I cannot make it to work on arm aarch64. (The platform I use is oracle cloud arm platform which is 64-bit aarch64, which armhf program cannot not run.

Kind of. There is one for Android aarch64. I did not see you are on Linux. They are basically the same, although the Android one probably won't find the linker/libc and not run on Linux

thanks for the reply. I try to work on the android aarch64 image, it seems it require some library of android (liblog.so).

% ldd ./xidel

libc.so => /system/bin/linker64 (0xffffa89e5000)

I have uploaded a new one

Error: /usr/bin/ppcarm returned an error exitcode

That might be the problem. ppcarm is the 32-bit compiler. The 64-bit compiler is called like ppca64. But build.sh calls fpc not ppc*
