| 3 | + | The [buildfaq.pdf](http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf) is a document about FPC and Lazarus building, and in particular cross-compiling. It is the successor of the 1.0.x period make cycle FAQ, and is maintained by an FPC core development member (Marco). | |

| 5 | + | The document is in LyX because it allows easy offline editing and good printing quality. It is a hyperlinked PDF, but when the notoriously difficult conversion of LaTeX to HTML allows it, a HTML version is also generated. Diagrams are made with DIA, and then exported to PNG. The source files are in SVN in fpcdocs/buildfaq, but if you want changes, please don't commit directly but do it via Marco. Thanks. | |

| 8 | + | - [HTML version](http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq) - sometimes lags due to HTML export issues. | |
