I just got a Zaurus and I'd love to use FPC on it. Or, failing that, I'd like to try cross-compiling on Linux for ARM. Are there any Zarus users out there who could lend me a hand getting started?

Get fpc via cvs, change to the fpc dir and do a
make clean all OS_TARGET=linux CPU_TARGET=arm BINUTILSPREFIX=arm-linux-

It requires that a arm-linux-as and arm-linux-ld (cross binutils) are somewhere in your path.

You'll get a ppcarm and a ppccrossarm and a rtl.

I'm interested in "ppccrossarm" and I already generated it using the make command line write above, but
Where is arm version going to install (directories) if I "make install"? In the same than x86?
How do I write fpc.cfg for arm?
Can arm and x86 version coexists together?

Thanks!

yes, but then units/cross/arm-linux instead of units/linux

You don't. You blend the ARM config into your current fpc.cfg, see the buildfaq for examples. (http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf)

I suppose so. It worked with Powerpc/x86 combo in november (when I last did this)
