Android Virtual Image raises an Error
lazarus / 43-Android

Hi.

I have installed the Android Virtual Image, but when I start its
Lazarus, it raises this error :

Compiler "/usr/bin/fpc" does not support target arm-linux

Doesn't that come preconfigured in the Virtual Image ?. It seems that
it should be preconfigured, it doesn't make sens to make a virtual
image and force us to finish its configuration.

Have I an error in my virtual image or I really have to setup cross-
compilation ?. If the latest, what how-to have I to follow to
accomplish that ?.

This one ? http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Setup_Cross_Compile_For_
ARM#How_To_setup_Lazarus.2FFPC_for_arm-linux_cross_compiling.

It doesn't looks quite right because this how-to was designed for a
Maemo target (Nokia N900), and because it haves version requirements
different (2.2.4) than FPC version in the Android Virtual Image
(2.4.4).

By the way, ¿ do you expect to build an updated Lazarus 1.0 Android
virtual image ?.

Thanks for your awesome work.

Regards

BTW about this image:

Could it be placed on some torrent etc? This is big file. I left my
computer at night to download the file. But in the morning when I try
extract this file, I get error that archive is corrupted (checked on
linux and on windows with PeaZip). Torrent client can check
consistency of downloaded file and fix it.

I tried PeaZip on win64 - it didn't work for me, but WinRar did.

See earlier threads - apparently some archivers run into problems...
presumably due to bugs.

Please, ¿ someone can confirm that the Android Virtual Image currently
in downloading area is running for him ?.

I found that the ARM crosscompiler is not configured, and I don't have
enough Linux knowledge to set it up by myself (may perfectly be my
mistake, because I'm new to Lazarus, Android & Linux, I have always
been a Delphi Windows developer. That's the reason that I ask for
confirmation).

Thank you.
