Hello.
I like of make cross compiling for Linux from Windows, but I think
that is very hard.
Can you create more easy way of do it?

Not for me, surely you have to do some learning. And yes, it's an
advanced topic which is not meant to be used by inexperienced
developers. Understand the concept, try building it, make it work

The easiest and best way to do it is to have a virtual machine on your
Windows and install Linux in it.
Once you have developed and tested your application on Windows, fire
up your virtual machine Linux, and recompile the application there.
This way you can test in a real Linux before deploying, instead of
just cross compiling and go back and forth at every problem.

I don't know for Windows->Linux, but vice versa Linux->Windows works
OK without any problem if you use .deb packages.
Only configuration that has to be done is to recompile Lazarus with
OS_TARGET=win32 and then you can build executables for both Linux and
Windows.
my personal choise is Puppy Linux
and have prepared Puppy linux PET package for Lazarus 0.9.30 + fpc
2.4.2 with cross-compiling to win32.
Download PET from here:

Even Zeosdbo is preinstalled and cross-compilation works immediately
without no need for any configuration.

I don't use CodeTyphon because is hard make upgrade to Lazarus and
Change the version of the installed components. I tryed to change the
version of the glscene installed on it and I can't.
