Hi all,

thank you for your thoughts and suggestions on this topic.

Yes, you are right. I have a XP machine as well as Windows 10, both 32-bit 
and 64-bit. So one of these should be the host. But it must be a 
cross-compiler  for the ARM64 target, since I cannot operate a ARM64 machine 
running Windows. It is not accessible to me. It is a bit like the 
hen/egg-problem.

I am using fpc 3.2.2 on my XP machine (32-bit) successfully for building 
32-bit and 64-bit DLLs for Windows x86/x64. My goal is to do the same for 
the ARM64 target.

Now I think of porting my pascal code to C++, installing MS Visual Studio 
and compiling it there.
I am not a compiler compiler and will not be able to finalize or test a 
cross-compiler before using it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang
