While this _should_ be possible somehow, It might be quite slow compared to what can be done on a PC with cross-compiling. Lazarus 0.9.27 runs on an ARM system based on Debian Etch without significant problems and adequately fast. The key is to use something like FluxBox rather than KDE. I was tempted to post this using Mozilla running on an ARM system, but hopefully I don't need to go to that extreme to make the point that ARM is a viable development host as well as a target. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
[fpc-devel] FPC on ARM, Debian Lenny
Using Debian Etch, which is arm rather than armel, I was able to compile FPC 2.2.2 running natively on an ARM system. I was subsequently able to use this to compile Lazarus 0.9.27, hence generate X applications natively. I can't remember whether I did any debugging. Debian Lenny has switched to armel rather than arm. FPC 2.2.2 installs without error but trying to compile the canonical test.pas I get: /usr/bin/ld: ERROR: Source object /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.2/units/arm-linux/rtl/system.o has EABI version 0, but target test has EABI version 4 I think this is a fairly succinct indication of why I wasn't able to get FPC to compile itself prior to compiling Lazarus for Lenny. Looking at the Debian Lenny repository, there is an fpc metapackage but the components- fp-compiler etc.- are not available. From recent discussion I presume that to progress this I have to cross-compile, either on Debian Etch or on a non-ARM system. Can somebody point me at the information I need, and tell me explicitly what target I should be using? Is there any way I can help by packaging an armel build for download, ditto for v2.2.3 for SPARC? -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Well, actually no, did you try to bootstrap FPC itself? Then the program generated only contains files generated with the new binutils set. Sorry, I'm not with you. I installed the same 2.2.2 binary that I'd previously used then tried to use that to compile the 2.2.2 sources. It didn't work, at which point I went back and did some more basic tests. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

It sounded like you try to compile (actually: link) a new program for a armel 4 abi with a precompiled RTL for a armel 0 abi. My suggestion would have been to try to recompile the RTL first with the binutils that come with the armel 4 abi system. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
