I disagree with Shane.
You can build a windows app on a linux machine. See for example: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/archives/msg00489.html Only: Instead of downloading the rpm, maybe better download the latest binutils source and make cross compile enabled binutils yourself.
The direct problem you are having right now is that you don't have a compiled rtl and fcl for windows. It is step 4 in the example in the archive.
The problem you are going to have next, is that the windows version of lazarus is not very usable yet (at least when I tried some two months ago). Some small LCL aplication can be made, but the win32 widget set interface is more unstable the gtk interface on linux.
Good luck.

You can't compile a win32 app under Linux. When running on Linux
you can build Linux apps, and when running on Windows you can
build Windows apps. Lazarus can run on both Operating Systems.

Hi everyone!
I'm new to freepascal & lazarus.
Could you tell me how to compile a win32 application under linux?
If I set the " compiler options / code generation / target os "
radio button
to win32, i get an error message: "Couldn't find: SYSWIN32"
Is it possible to make this?
For example:
I have only Linux Os on my computer
I want to make a windows executable
Can I build it?
Please Help!
Thanks for All!
Szabolcs from Hungary
