Cygwin and mingw have different goals, if you don't need the unix emulation, then you can get rid of the extra dependency by using mingw.

Luckily, someone else has built mingw cross tools here: ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/mingw/ You can download binutils-2.15-win32-i386-linux.zip and extract it into your fpc bin directory. After that it's just a matter of recompiling your rtl and packages (if needed). Let me know if you need help with doing this.

Some steps: get cygwin install some stuff like gcc, flex, bison, binutils-source, iconv configure binutils with --target i386-linux and --prefix ~/somewhere open bottle of wine build binutils drink bottle of wine (essential step) binutils will be finished building now and you should have i386-linux-* in prefix/bin build fpc rtl and packages with OS_TARGET=linux, making sure you your new cross binutils are on the path (learn that fpc cygwin.dll isn't compatible with i386-linux-ld, copy dll around and shuffle path) ??? profit! It may be better building the whole compiler for the latest version of cygwin, but I'll see if I can scrape together the necessary files you can drop into your fpc bin directory for this to work (not that many). I managed to get a simple writeln app to cross compile and run on linux. Henry ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I haven't ever cross-compiled anything, but here's a start... Looking here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling#To_Linux_2 ...it looks like it may be tricky to do win->linux. I am guessing it is possible... hopefully someone more knowledgeable will give you some tips on this list... and perhaps the wiki will get fleshed out some day. > or is it easier to learn how to use linux and do it there? honestly, this may be the easiest option. If you have ssh access to the web host and an fp compiler is (or can be) installed there, then you could just upload your sources to the host and compile them there. Check out putty or ttssh. Alternately you could just install linux on a machine somewhere, or if that's tricky, install virtualbox with a linux guest and use that. > I saw a page how to crosscompile lazarus, but it seamed very complex. Well, lazarus is very complex, so cross compiling it will be complex. Your program will probably be easier to cross compile if it does not use so many of fpc's and LCL's capabilities and libraries. > P.S. fp.exe lets you select a linux output, but it doesn't work. probably because some other stuff needs to be configured, some of which is noted in the cross compiling wiki instructions above. ~David. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
