I have a GUI program developed in FPC/Lazarus x64 on Windows.
It is an IoT device configuration application which would benefit from
being portable, i.e. executable on an Android phone. The devices in

easier from a phone.
Before I start digging in to the multiple pages I have found on the
fpc/Android subject I want to ask if it would be feasible to
cross-compile my Windows application for Android phone use?
I have used standard GUI controls in Lazarus for the visual parts and
Indy10 (via indylaz) for the TCP/IP communications stuff.
Any advice welcome!
But if it turns out to be a learning path several weeks long it is
probably not worth the effort...
You *hope* to compile a program *directly* on an Android phone with
*little* effort? :)
You could possibly hire me (or other that I know).
Or we could trade things?
On 6/11/18 I wrote a message on this forum to you about a security
dongle I need to use in Lazarus. I'll trade some work for that code!
I've spent a bit of time investigating similar things:

http://controlpascal.com/self-hosted.htm
I got a couple of these kits several years ago:

A company who builds waterproof equipment could hopefully use
inexpensive Android tablets occasionally to change equipment settings (a
*lot* less expensive than adding waterproof user IO equipment to their
gear).
I'd enjoy hearing more ideas from others!
Best regard,
