This is my point: cross-compilation works flawless because it is the only way to develop. Same for FPC: because cross compilation to win64/wince is the way how official releases are built, this way works perfectly, see below. > > I still think forcing a Windows licence for somebody that wants to > develop for iOS only is bad.

Of course, it is is the only way. Just try win32 to win64/wince cross compilation with FPC, it also "just works" because it is way our releases work and the mainly used way to build for those targets. c:\fpc>fpc test.pp -Parm Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.2 [2013/02/12] for arm Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: WinCE for ARM Compiling test.pp Assembling program Linking test.exe 2 lines compiled, 0.1 sec , 23216 bytes code, 540 bytes data c:\fpc>fpc test.pp -Px86_64 Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.2 [2013/02/12] for x86_64 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Win64 for x64 Compiling test.pp Linking test.exe 2 lines compiled, 0.1 sec , 29792 bytes code, 1748 bytes data c:\fpc>fpc test.pp Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.2 [2013/02/12] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Win32 for i386 Compiling test.pp Linking test.exe 2 lines compiled, 0.1 sec , 25344 bytes code, 1612 bytes data Same for lazarus: I just change the target and it works: the needed parts of the lcl are rebuilt, then the program is build. > Trying to do the same thing with FPC and > Lazarus IDE is a huge pita! Not with the windows targets. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
