Hello community!

I successfully installed lazarus 0.9.30.4 and fpc2.6.0.1 to my lucid
lynx desktop.

I followed the link at the wiki http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cro
ss_compiling_for_Win32_under_Linux (regarding cross compiling) but
when I reach the compiling of the snapshot, a message occurs:

cant find binutils-i686-win32 for FPC-i386-Win32

Or is there another way to do this.

Pls help...

tnx

It shouldn't be needed, cross compiling to win32 from lin32 should be
done totally by the compiler. No external assembler/linker needed.
Except if you compile from 64-bit linux instead of 32-bit. Anyway,
where did you get that message?

Will try that one out. Got the error message after executing the
command:

sh buildcrossbinutils.sh

Open up the .sh file, find that message and it's corresponding
condition (i.e. what it tries to do and fail such that the message
appears).

The binaries are still needed when cross compiling from lin32 to
win32. I got the error:

The project uses target OS=Win32 and CPU=i386 (etc...)

Wait...

When executing the builcrossbinutil.sh i get this error:

cannot remove ./config.cache. No such file or directory

then

Failed Targets

What if you just skip binutils building part? Build the
RTL/FCL/LCL/packages directly for Win32 and try to compile a project
for it (at least that's what I've been doing lately).

Could you instruct me sir on what to do? This is whats keeping me with
09.30 to upgrade to 0.9.30.4.

Please...

Tnx...

From your console, open up fpc source directory (I have no idea where
you/your package manager put it since I built everything from source
and customize their location), then type (assuming you have the full
source tree instead of just packages and rtl):
Quotemake all OS_TARGET=win32 && sudo make install
INSTALL_PREFIX=<your fpc base dir, /usr for me>You can then simply
select win32 target OS from compiler option.

I had problems with it. So i just got all the windows dependencies and
dumped them to my linux box.

Thanks for the guides...
