Hi all,

Is it possible to cross compile for arm without having target libs?

Have you tried passing the --allow-shlib-undefined option to the linker?

Thank you,

it partially worked. I had some errors with some target libs, so adding --allow-shlib-undefined to arm-linux-ld options, all worked (the other option is -L/path/to/target/libs).
If I use --allow-shlib-undefined only, I get linking errors (e.g. /home/kjow/lazarus/fpc/binutils/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpthread.so when searching for -lpthread )

Is it possible without all target libs?

I don't know. You'll have to remove the -lxxxxx options from the linker, otherwise it will try and find the libraries. This is obviously not very safe (plain dangerous, really). Why don't you just copy all the libs from the target device onto your build machine?

It can't link without -Lxxxxx option, so I need both -Lxxxxx and --allow-shlib-undefined options
I'm already using tha target libs grabbed from device, but (I don't know why) these have stopped to work with the linker (there were a lot of reference errors with the same lazarus revision and the same target libs I had from time ago).

Now, with both options ( -Lxxxxx and --allow-shlib-undefined ) it works.

If it were possible to link without target libs, it would be very nice (no problems, with grabbing, copying, etc.)

And for arm-linux?
