Ok. So I have a newer compiler for the base system built on the fly, nice. Not really, because only the compiler and RTL are rebuild for the native system when cross building FPC, all the packages are still missing. So you nevertheless need to do a complete build for your host life you had done for your cross compilation target. Regards, Sven
