I eventually found that https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/rpi3 has a "Package Repo" section with the alternate ABI information for pkg and also how to get port builds going (putting an ld in place) --as if the material was RPI3 specific. https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/rpi3 says: > There is no package repo for 12-CURRENT, but the package repo for 11 can be used on 12-CURRENT by telling pkg to use the FreeBSD 11 aarch64 ABI: > > env ABI=FreeBSD:11:aarch64 pkg bootstrap > > Once pkg is bootstrapped, you can add this to /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf: > > ABI = "FreeBSD:11:aarch64"; > > If you want to build your own ports or packages, you'll need to install the aarch64-binutils package and link /usr/bin/ld to /usr/local/bin/aarch64-freebsd-ld: > > # pkg install aarch64-binutils > # ln /usr/local/bin/aarch64-freebsd-ld /usr/bin/ld > > Note that if you're building directly on the RPI3, you will definitely want to use either USB storage or NFS. Building on the sdcard will likely wear the sdcard out. (I have the root filesystem on a USB SSD.) My context is a Pine64+ 2GB --which https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64 does not even mention as covered by TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 . But crochet is set up for pine64's and uses TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 style builds. === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
