Cross Compiling with 0.9.10 and fpc 2.0.1
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have downloaded and installed the latest rpms, running under Fedora
Core 4, including the new bin-utils package.

I have wine installed, and I am just trying to get lazarus to build a
simple single form project for GTK and Win32.

If I try and rebuild lazarus, with a win32 target, I get an error cant
find unit windows.

Are there any configuration steps I need to do to get lazarus to be
able to build the same project either for GTK or Win32 cause this is
just not working.

I am just starting out with Lazarus, (been doing delphi for years) and
think the ability to cross compile is it's strength, but I just can't
seem to get it configured correctly.  Can't wait for it to be able to
do carbon as well...

Any help appreciated.

regards,

Matt

Did you have a look at this wiki page? On this page all steps to cross
compile are explained!

I think that the cross-platform hability with the same source code and
native APIs (win32, gtk, carbon) is the strongest point. If I want to
deploy to windows users I will test it on windows anyway, but cross-
compiling sure is very nice. Wine is something like 90%, but I
wouldn't rely on it. I usually do a exaustive test, including at least
a Windows95, a 98, a 2000 and a XP before I deploy to the users =)
