[chromium-discuss] 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

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!
