[SOLVED] 64 bits DEB packages for Intel?
lazarus / 1-Linux

Ok, hello people. Having another question...

I decided to compile my app on a 64 bit Linux. I went with Mint
because that's what I was using in 32 bits. So I went to the download
section at the Lazarus site to download the 1.0.14 version (newest
version on Mint repositories is 1.0.10 I believe) and I see the 64
bits versions have "amd64" in their name.

Would that work on an Intel (virtual) PC? I'm a newbie in Linux so I
don't want to try to install something and break the system.

BTW, I also tried to install the i386 DEBs just to see what happened,
but I got some errors I didn't try to solve because I wanted to check
this other possibility first. But, would a 32 bits FPC generate 64
bits apps?

Thanks all for answering my annoying questions!

QuoteWould that work on an Intel (virtual) PC?Yes, x86_64 target that
FPC supports is amd64. It's different from ia64.
QuoteBut, would a 32 bits FPC generate 64 bits apps?Yes, but you'll
need to build the cross compiler first. Should be easy on linux.

Thanks Leledumbo. Installed the amd64 packages and they worked
flawlessly.
