TOPIC:

Hi, I installed CT 6.6 (latest stable version on Windows) and tried to cross compile a very simple sample project from Windows to RPI3 using FPC32.
When I compile in Debug mode, everything works fine but when I try to compile in Release mode, compilation fails with a certain error message about linking.
I narrowed down the issue to smartlinking when cross compiling from Win64 to RPI3 using the FPC32 compiler.
If I disable smartlinking in Release mode, everything including linking works beautifully.

Any help guys?

Thanks Sir
can you give us more info for you project ?

Thanks for replying Sir, it's just a simple Lazarus Form Project. See it attached below

Sir
your project don't define arm-linux Platform more Info
for Pi3 my suggestion is GTK2

So, you build your project for Pi3 arm-linux but for Win32 Platform
with all Debug, Release and Default modes of your project.

CodeTyphon Form applications have TargetCPU, TargetOS and TargetPlatform

Hi, I followed your suggestions yet the problem remains, please do note that the project builds and links fine if I select debug mode or disable the "Link smart (-XX) option in Release mode, but if I enable "Link smart (-XX) option in any build mode, linking fails.
I have repeated it over and over again.

attached below is image proof.

So, you want "Smart Link" in a CrossBuild procedure ?

Yes, is this not possible?
Because it works for me if I try to smartlink when crossbuilding from Win32 to normal Linux (not ARM).

OK, we will try fix this Sir

Hello.

Did you try to add this parameter at compilation:

AFAIK, this parameter is omitted sometime with fpc ifis used.

For example, if you compile libraries withsmart-linking will not work, you must useparameter to enable smart-linking.

Thanks for the help but unfortunately, it didn't work.
