hello @ all,

I am trying to set up fpc as a cross-compiler

I am developing on linux x86_64 (debian etch) and i want to compile laz-projects to i386-linux and i386-win32

but i am not able to compile from x86_64-linux to i386-linux

i read all docs on the lazarus page and the fpc pages. but no success to cross compile anything... even the compiler itself.

I used fpc 2.2.2 and the current svn version 2.3.1

someone of you got this done and has tipps?

regards
alex

Easiest solution? Install fpc-2.2.2 for i386 on your x86_64 system.

hi joos,

thx 4 your answer, but how do I compile for x86_64 on fcp-i386? Or do you mean to install 2 FPCs one x64 and one i386?

Yes. On most distributions that's possible.

Or else you could download a ppc386-executable from somewhere, and compile a plain i386-version yourself:

make clean all PP=../path/to/ppc386
sudo make install PP=compiler/ppc386

Thereafter you'll have a ppcx64 and a ppc386 on your system. Make sure that both use the same prefix. (/usr/lib/ or /usr/local/lib/) If one of them insist on using something like /usr/lib64 then you can add that one to your fpc.cfg manually.

Joost.

OK I will try your solution, thx again.

atm ppc386 is not able to link in lazarus :(

I have this in my fpc.cfg:

# searchpath for libraries
#ifdef cpux86_64
-Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2
#endif

#ifdef cpui386
-Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/32
#endif

could this make all the trouble?

another question: what are ppcross386 and ppcrossx64 for and when do i use wich of them? And what is the difference between the standard FPCs?

best regards
alex
