TOPIC:

I have a project which builds and runs on Windows, and I'd like to build an Arm Linux version (for Raspberry Pi). In Code Typhon Center, I have selected CrossBuild - FreePascal 32 bits - FPC32 build cross element arm-linux. When that's finished, I expected to see a new entry in the Status, but I do not. If I launch the IDE and change my project options to Target OS = Linux, Target CPU family = arm, and try to build, I get an error "fcllaz.pas(0,0) Fatal: Can not find unit system used by fcllaz of package FCL.".

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, and what I need to do to cross build for Arm Linux?

Steve

good luck.

I try to build for arm android now for several months but it does not work.

It looks like the problem was my fault; I had Lazarus/FPC installed before I installed CodeTyphon. I removed everything and reinstalled CodeTyphon, and I can now start building my project. I now have a few cross-platform issues to sort out in my code, so haven't successfully built yet.

I now get an error that the libraries have EABI version 5, but my project has EABI version 0. How do I get CT to build my project with EABI version 5?

I've given up on trying to cross-compile with Code Typhon and I'm using Lazarus to build directly on the platform; it's working really well.

Hi Steve,

Did you successfully install CT or Lazarus directly on an Arm Linux system? I first tried to cross-compile from Windows to Arm Linux but in vain. I then tried installing CT or Lazarus directly on the Arm Linux system that I have (shop.seco.com/gpudevkit/gpudevkit-detail.html).

On my Arm Linux machine, installing the system libraries with CodeTyphonIns was successful, but the installation of CT itself wasn't. Specifically, the installer complains about some files with "i386-linux" in their path strings not being found. I believe the Linux part of CodeTyphonIns.zip installer was made for i386 only and not Arm.

I then tried Lazarus. The names of their Linux packages (sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/?source=navbar) all suggest they only install on Intel's platforms.

It would be great if you can share your experience on getting CT or Lazarus installed directly on an Arm Linux machine.
