Hi,

I have not compiled a LAMW project for a while. After pulling the
latest LAMW + ugdating FPC&Lazarus (fixes branches) with the latest 
FPCUpDeluxe now I am getting this error even for a freshly created
LAMW GUI project:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i Compile
Project, OS: android, CPU: arm, Target:
C:\A\Test\AppLAMWProject2\libs\armeabi-v7a\libcontrols.so: Exit code
1, Errors: 1Fatal: Cannot find system used by controls. Make sure all
ppu files of a package are in its output directory. ppu in wrong
directory=D:\fpcupdeluxe_fixes\fpc\units\arm-android\rtl\system.ppu..
What settings should I check?

PS: I have read about LAMW Manager, but I prefer&use Windows 7 which
is not supported by that.

To answer my question:

FPCUpDeluxe earlier had  default options for android cross compilation
which were suitable for LAMW.
It is not the case any more, but it's setup  includes a "Cross build
override" edit box. So the solution generally is to add the necessary
options needed for your LAMW project.

These worked for me:

"Select CPU" = arm
"Select OS" = android
"Cross build override"  = -CaEABI -Xd -CfVFPv3 -CpARMV7A -XParm-linux-
androideabi-  (maybe not all of them is actually necessary)
"ARM target" = armhf

tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk
"Compiler options" --> "Custom options" =$(IDEBuildOptions) -CfVFPV3
-CpARMV7A

An alternative to Fpdeluxe:

  I use Lazarus 64 bit v 2.0.2 (Windows) and I have cross-compilers
working that way:

1- Install fpc-3.2.2.win32.and.win64.exe
2 - Install fpc-3.2.2.i386-win32.cross.android .exe
3 - Download zip
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Source/3.2.2/ and
extract only the fpcsrc folder to FPC folder
4- In Tools\Options change Compiler Executable and FPC Source
Directory
5- LAMW Android Project Options\Build change to ARMV7a+VFPv3

It was the fastest way to compile Win32 Win64 Android ( with ANT or
Gradle)



LAMW and FPC is a mystery to be solved.
I tried to play it on a friend's pc, exactly what I did and it works
on my pc. Result: Fail.
  Now I'm investigating why this works for me. When I find out I'll do
an update here.
