compile to linux under windows
lazarus / 32-Linux

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

hello
I am using Lazarus 2.0 . 32 bit in windows 10 - 64b

I saw in wiki (compile without lazarus) that it is possible to compile
a project only by using Lazbuild and fpc and lcl (lazarus ide removing
is harmless)

So the question is
is it possible to use Fpc for linux (as portable) alongside with
lazarus and fpc windows installation

or if possible
if there is a lazarus windows installation to target linux only

No

Do note that *nix platforms require target libraries to be present at
compile time, so to make things easier, you might need to have a copy
of /usr/lib directory (that has GTK/QT/whatever development libraries)
from a distro that represents minimum Linux installation you expect to
work with your compiled binaries.

First, you can't use Linux binaries on Windows: you would have to
build (or download from somewhere and install) a cross-compiler,
cross-binutils, etc. But the worst problem is not really the compiler
or the tools: it's the miriad libraries needed that you can't install
--at least not easily.

Anyway, look in the wiki: Cross-compiling

You can crosscompile and crossdebug from win to most linux. But you
have to understand the differences. This the first part, to create the
cross tools a second. Not an easy way.

Actually, in Windows 10 you can, if you install Microsoft's Windows
Subsystem for Linux (WSL) component, which "is a collection of
components that enables native Linux ELF64 binaries to run on
Windows."

I was going to suggest this but how do you access the Linux files from
Lazarus running on windows that need to be linked in?
