Compiling natively on aarch64/arm64 errors

[Skorpeo]

Hi,

I am trying to compile chromium natively on armv8 (aarch64/arm64).  When I run gcclient runhooks I get the following error:

Running hooks:   5% ( 4/76) nacltools                    
________ running '/usr/bin/python src/build/download_nacl_toolchains.py --mode nacl_core_sdk sync --extract' in '/mnt/sd/chromium'
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError: Unrecognized arch machine: aarch64
Error: Command '/usr/bin/python src/build/download_nacl_toolchains.py --mode nacl_core_sdk sync --extract' returned non-zero exit status 1 in /mnt/sd/chromium

Just for fun I changed package_version.py line 1116 to: host_arch = "arm" # pynacl.platform.GetArch3264()

but then I get the following error:

Is there anyway to compile chromium on aarch64/arm64??

Thanks much!

Dunno, but somehow these fellas did it: https://windowsunited.de/ausprobiert-erste-arm64-version-des-chromium-browsers-fuer-windows-10-arm/

I'm running it right now and it's pretty damn good, apart from the lack of Google API.
