Hi list,

I'm fiddling with crosscompiling in fpcup.

For Wince ARM, using
- cross binaries from
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/binutils-2.15.94-win32-arm-wince.zip (added cygwin1.dll in binutils directory as well)
- no libraries
-this in fpc.cfg:
#IFDEF CPUARM
#IFDEF WINCE
-FDC:\development\cross\bin\arm-wince
#ENDIF
#ENDIF

compiling FPC gives
Start compiling package bzip2 for target arm-wince. Warning: Unable to determine the libgcc path.
Compiling bzip2\BuildUnit_bzip2.pp
Compiling .\bzip2\src\bzip2comn.pp
Compiling .\bzip2\src\bzip2.pas
Compiling .\bzip2\src\bzip2stream.pp
... and the compiler seems to hang there.

I wonder if an expert could tell me straight off what I'm doing wrong ;)

Thanks,
Reinier

Try the binutils I collect here (arm-wince-* is build from binutils 2.22): http://svn2.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/binaries/i386-win32/ (please do not use svn.freepascal.org for this repository for speed reasons).

What source tree do you use? Trunk? Works here

Thanks a lot, I did.
... and that seems to solve it:
fpcup --only=fpc --cputarget=arm --ostarget=wince
works nicely :)

When I compile a sample project using Lazarus with target OS wince target CPU arm I get [1]... I'm (perversely) hoping these are general problems with ARM and not just my setup.

Yes, trunk.

I thought you talk about fpc, anyways, the attached patch might help for lazarus.

Thanks. Applied.

Thanks. I did talk about fpc but I got ambitious ;)

I'll test it and report on the Lazarus list.

(Ok, I cheated... short reply here)

Thanks, that works beautifully.
