Hi Folks

I've got fpc to compile in a dos box for Arm Embedded using this script

fpc -Parm -Tembedded -WpLPC1343FBD48 -Cparmv7m myprogram.pp

how do it get the above commands into fpc.cfg ?

so I can just type fpc myprogram.pp

Kind Regards

Justin

On Windows, create a file called fpc.cfg in your "USERPROFILE" directory (can see what it is by typing "echo %USERPROFILE%" in a command line window) with the following contents:

#include \path\to\default\fpc.cfg
-Parm
-Tembedded
-WpLPC1343FBD48
-Cparmv7m

The default fpc.cfg is located in the same directory as fpc.exe.

I've created this no change , when I run fpc I comes up trying to use ppc386.exe

This is my path on my vm

PATH=c:\users\sslvpn;C:\lazarusExtras\FPC\2.6.4\bin\arm-embedded;C:\LazarusE xtras\fpc\2.6.4\Source\rtl\units\arm-embedded;C:\LazarusExtras\fpc\2.6.4\Sou rce\rtl\embedded;C:\LazarusExtras\fpc\2.6.4\Source\rtl\embedded\arm;C:\Progr am Files

And my fpc.cfg

I've created this no change , when I run fpc I comes up trying to use ppc386.exe

try running fpc with the -va parameter, then it will tell you where it looks for configuration files, which one it uses and the options it parses. Best pipe the output through "more" or to a file, as it will be a lot of text.

Jonas

Nevermind: it's the ppc*.exe that parses the configuration file, not fpc.exe. There is no configuration file specifically for fpc.exe. One alternative is to call ppcrossarm instead of fpc. Another is to create e.g. a .bat file that calls fpc -Parm. The rest of the options you can put in a configuration file (although in that case, you obviously can put them just as well in the .bat file).

Error: C:\LazarusExtras\fpc\2.6.4\bin\arm-embedded\ppc386.exe returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)

I've been thinking about this , I've come up with a solution

I'm going to be using this in lazarus , so in the project options when you select arm I think you need to be able to select the chip set to be used.

The Chipset can be found by using ppcrossarm.exe -i

That will list the chipset and then provide fpc / ppcrossarm.exe with -W<targetchipset>

Then I should be able to compile my project in lazarus
