Hi there!
I've just installed lazarus for arm crosscompile using the script
provided in the wiki.
Th installation went ok, no errors, but i try to compile a simple .pas
source i get this:

michele@michele-desktop:~/Scrivania/test$ fpc -Tlinux -Parm pippo.pas
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.5.1 [2011/01/09] for arm
Copyright (c) 1993-2010 by Florian Klaempfl

Compiling pippo.pas
Assembling test
pippo.pas(7,41) Error: Assembler /home/michele/lazarus/fpc/binutils/as
not found, switching to external assembling
pippo.pas(7,41) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppcarm returned an error exitcode (normal if you
did not specify a source file to be compiled)

I've checked and "as" is present in the
/home/michele/lazarus/fpc/binutils/ folder and binutils IS installed.
What can i check?

Many thanks!

Does as have the x flag set?

yes,it does. (of course...it's executable and so on...all the flags
are ok).

Try calling fpc with -a too, and then see if you can assemble
manually(call as on the generated .s file(s))

The .s file is generated (i've taken a look...for me it's asm code)

Any idea?

Yes, call
fpc -Tlinux -Parm -a pippo.pas
THEN
as -opippo.o pippo.s

It was meant as a suggestion of how to test whether as worked. This
won't solve your problem, it'll only tell you whether as works for
arm, or works at all
