On the off chance that the new ppcarm compiler and units I just built
will work with a big endian ARM, I am trying to figure out how to
actually build a test program.
Is it possible to use the Lazarus IDE to edit and compile/assemble/link?
I changed the compiler path to the new compiler and made sure
spurious command line options were off.
I get a message indicating it can't run the assembler and is switching
to external assembling. Someone else had this problem back in May and
got the response "The newer compilers requires an updated fpc.cfg and
that the assembler is called e.g. arm-linux-as and arm-linux-ld."
I haven't been able to find any documentation that shows the format of
this new fpc.cfg and how you set the assembler and linker. Can
anybody help?
There is nothing special required for arm. For cross compiling to the arm
it is the best to add the following lines to fpc.cfg so the compiler the
arm-linux-as and arm-linux-ld. But they can also be provided everytime on
the commandline.
#ifdef cpuarm
-XParm-linux-
#endif
If you are building things with the Makefiles you need to provide the
BINUTILSPREFIX like
make BINUTILSPREFIX=arm-linux-
the Makefile will then use this prefix for assembling the loaders and pass
it to the compiler with the -XP commandline option.
