Hi,

Does anyone have an idea why a program made with fpc will not run ? I have an odroid X2 module, with xubuntu armhf. I "installed" the fpc/fpgui-package from Paul Breneman on it. Then I compiled the demo's which went fine. But when I tried to start those executables I get an error :
./helloworld
-bash: ./helloworld: No such file or directory

When I "file" the executables I get :

file helloworld
helloworld: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, not stripped

ldd gives :
ldd helloworld
not a dynamic executable

A bare fpc-program gives the same results.

program test;
begin
writeln('tfpc-test');
end.

Commandline to compile this :
./ppcarm test -Sc -FEbin -FUdcu -Fufpcunits -Iufpcunits

Running those same executables on a Raspberry Pi works OK.

Thanks for any idea's.

Hi,

..

A suggestion on the hardkernel-forum said it might be an armhf problem. Is it prossible to compile fpc from armhf ? Should I do this "native" ? I mean, I have an fpc running on the hardware, but it's an armel, at least I think it is. My ppcarm says Compiler CPU target arm. Then : supported targets : linux for ARMEL.

Thanks,

Hi,

There's snapshot on the ftp.

Should I do this "native" ?

Why not?

Seems so, and explains the issue, i.e. unrecognized executable.

Copied the contents to /usr
Tried fpc -i, shows fpc 2.6.2, for armel.

Is there some mistake ?

Since it seems possible, I'll have to investigate how to make my own armhf.

Koenraad.

Yes, you need to fix some symlink so that fpc uses the new compiler. I think there is a symlink in /usr/bin/ppcppc that still points to the old compiler.

This is probably wrong, don't remember the exact location of the symlink that is used by the fpc wrapper.

I think in general it will be in the same directory as the fpc wrapper gets placed. So which fpc should give this, and then there'll be a symlink ppcarm or whatever.
