Unfortunately, I don't have a amd64 to use for this. I suppose I could use digital ocean and cross build on there and pkg will fetch that. For the host OS, do you need to have what you're cross building for? IOW, can I install 11-release and cross build 12-current? Glossing over your link and https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/crossbuild it doesn't seem that a requirement. > Cheers, > > Paul. --=20 ------- inum: 883510009027723 sip: jungleboogie@sip2sip.info
