I wrote the tutorial and it works.
If you follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Setup_Cross_Compile_For_ARM

you can cross compile from linux-i386 to linux-arm, only you need are the destination library. I can build apps for Nokia N900 (that is an arm-linux machine, it use Maemo5 a debian (arm) based distro).

Regards,
Kjow

Should I interpret this as meaning that you do not want the $ 500?

so does that mean they rescind the bounty? ;) :)

That means he'll probably prefer the author of the tutorial.

Hi :)
I don't understand if the turorial helped them to cross compile for arm-linux or they need more help I tried to contact them, but no replies.
They can contact me through lazarus forum, clicking my nick and reading my email address in the profile or sending me a private message in the forum:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,8084.0.html

Best Regards,
Kjow

From what I understood, he read the tutorial but can not apply it properly.

The reply shall come soon. Now it is 5h30 am in Brazil.

Ok, thank you very much!

I need to do some modify to it (I received some hints), so this can be the right time to do this.

Best Regards,
Kjow

Interestingly, he had asked me to do this. I prepared my environment to be able to help you, I lost my time with it. ??

I definitely do not understand people, especially the rushed.

He seems to be looking for a permanent solution to his problem. If you can support Kjow in Brazil, and he could pay you, it will be a perfect business of geek capitalism.

It seems that he needs to make programs for Linux because their customers require and he sees this as a cost saving, but still uses Delphi and is not very comfortable with Linux.

I understood this too. I just thought it strange he leave 'shooting' for all sides.

I ask (for PVT) for a person to do something, if it does not work, I ask other people (Forum), do you understand me?

It is as if he were trying to buy something for two (or more) people. And I do not usually charge for this type of the work (helps).

He does not mind paying. He is rehearsing its entry in the Linux world and need a solution that works.

No. People of the Brasil in general.

Here in Brazil people do not value the work of those who work with computers and programming. They think it's all very simple and easy, unfortunately this is so.

I spent hours downloading (900...1500 b/s) the Free Pascal 2.4.0 to help the member to solve problem with arm-liux, and I receive an email of the list where he offers $500 for those who solve. Just wasted my time. :/

ps. guys, excuse for my bad english. ;D

Thanks.

He answered now an email I sent yesterday. He not can even install the FPC.

I'm here to help regardless of money (see my web history, silvioprog on search of Google of the Brasil) ;) Just found it strange the way with he addressed me and soon after addressed the forum. :/ Despite the dire need that he is, he try can not buy people, and for so little ($500). Especially in an open source project. (If he was offering a prize, to that he contacted me in pvt? I personally do not like the competition on open source projects).

Let's solve this problem, he is a new Lazarus user, and new Linux user. I can help, but I not will ensure, because I do not want to interfere in any competition.

This is not competition. Lazarus bounties is a scheme accepted by the community. It is an accepted way to pay programmers. See here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Bounties/pt

OK Ant?nio, I understand. But it seems to me not bounties, he is desperate and want a solution at all costs. (if you want I can forward the email I received from him).

Well, for those who like <strike>of the competitiveness</strike>, on open source project: Enjoy ;)

ps.: I talked with friends on a list here of Brazil (I needed help to create the environment), no one agreed with this kind of 'bounties'.

Well, I did not invent them, the community adopts them since before I arrived.

I think this is an error occurring in the translations. Please, if there is any word not that sounds good, let me know.

Of course I can help Kjow :) And anyone who need. I do this and with much gladly.

Think with me:

1. I ask help in PVT;
2. The other day I offer a 'premium' in a forum, to try to solve the
same problem;
3. But I not communicate to you that I launched an 'premium' in the forum;

So to say that my efforts and my work will have no value? If I had not received the email of the list, would be here 'fighting' to be able to resolve this problem. I lost a few hours asking friends about this problem. If I knew he would ask for the whole world would, I would not have wasted my time and the time of my friends. I think now you understand me.

There is no problem with the list/generosity/*anything*... Just did not think just the way he turned to me and then devalued my effort.

You understand me now?

You talk as if someone was making a lack ethics. I say it is not applicable, once the community itself created the bounties.

And much less me.

First I ask a person if she can help me, if not, I ask help others. And not the whole world and even offering prizes.

I'm not understanding, I think that is the translation. :/ You seem to answer their own questions. Several emails followed, not giving time for me to answer. I'll let you talk at all, after, I try to translate and understand to then respond. Not good answer without being sure of what this talking.

Hi Antonio,

I think we've given you the benefit of the doubt when reading your posts. To me it was obvious that the argument was needing you to adjust your methods to get the project moving and maintain respect for personal feelings. The issue is not about bounties. It's about initial contact with someone who became vested in helping and was side skirted. That's it.

Please feel free to post bounties in the future. But when people get upset over getting involved make sure respect contributors, especially when they are offering their services free of charge.

2010/3/18 Ant?nio :

I understand his personal feellings, I will not get anything with that too. Moreover,
I do not want to give the impression that I do not care about him, this is not true.

I think you are not understanding what I'm trying to explain, but it is normal, my english is of the a translator (Google), and I'm not sure if he chose the correct word. (a comma changes all, imagine a word).

I is not criticizing your post ($500 of bounty). In all the time I trying to explain that he contact me in PVT, and soon after, came to the all world (he did not even wait an answer from me.). That is, the guy devalued my effort. Only it!

If I were interested in money (which to me not is all), would not have washed my hands.

OK.

No problems, guy :) . I will contact him (Anderson - ), I can send with a Bcc copy for you. Well,

Now I go format my PC and return the previous settings. Bye ;)
