I have problems cross compiling from Linux (Ubuntu 15.1) to Windows (32).

I have setup everything in CodeTyphon and am able to make a simple 'Hello World' program with some buttons that is compiling fine in Linux and also cross compiling fine to Win32. The resulting Win32 runs OK on Wine and on Windows XP.

However, I have another project that is in a further state of development with more controls that fails to cross compile to win32.
The errors that I get are:

I have tried several things to solve these issues but without success.

I have also tried to make a very simple program with only the components on it that I use in this program and this compiles fine for bot Linux and Win32 so I guess it is not a problem that is related to a package that can't be used for Win32.

Can anyone give me a hint on where to look for to solve this issue?

Sir
can you give us more info
-CodeTyphon version ?
-What components did you use ?
anything that can help us

First of all, thanks for your quick reply

I use the latest build 5.6 on Ubuntu 15.10

The components that I use are:
TForm
TButton (standard)
TLabel (standard)
TMemo (standard)
TPagecontrol (common controls)
TDateEdit (misc)
TStatusBar (common controls)
IniPropStorage (misc)
TcySkinArea (cindy base)
TplColorPanel (extra controls 1)

All components are OK for Cross-Build
-Did you use anything else ?
Linux libraries etc
-Did you select Win32 as platform ?

I also thought it would be no problem, Especially because I have tested the components with a fresh project in which I placed one of each component on a form and cross compiled it to Win32 without any problems

No, I didn't used anything else and selected Win32 as the platform.
I just followed the instructions on: www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/wiki?id=496

The name of the project is Windows (how original
the contents of windows.lpi is:

The contents of windows.lpr is

I have dig a bit further and discovered that there are missing files.

When I open the project options and click the test button it complains about missing files, the files are:

HINT: using config file /usr/local/codetyphon/fpc/fpc32/bin/i386-linux/fpc.cfg
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: system.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: objpas.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: sysutils.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: classes.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: avl_tree.ppu
ERROR: compiled FPC unit not found: zstream.ppu

1)-Rename project file to aaawin.lpi (not windows.lpi)
and test
2)-try

You are the BEST!!!

I have renamed it and it runs without problems

However, I don't understand why the name is causing this issue - can you tell me why?

ps. I have in the mean time also upgraded the system to 5.7 - it runs without problems

Thanks Sir
programming world is unpredictable
have fun...
