The free pascal 1.0.6 cross compiler host windows target linux is now working.
I used cygwin, binutils-2.14 and free pascal. ( mingw unfortunately did not working: missing bison, flex, etc :) ) I tested a simple hello world program with knoppix ( linux running from cd-rom ). Then I also tested it with a red hat linux server. The only problem seems to be that the hello world is denied access. It says: permission denied... That is probably easily solved with chmod. I am just wondering if the free pascal compiler can set these permission automatically for the linux executables. ( Is that the right term, linux executables ? :) ) So other weird red hat linux server behaviour... I have to use: ./hello ( just hello does work on knoppix ) That's probably a red hat linux server setting... ./ means current folder... Just wondering what that is all about. I ll bet I'll also write a tutorial so others can do it. Also with a little side note why I want it... many asked why not install linux. My short answer would be: 1. no space. 2. I read linux can destroy NTFS partitions :) Since I have windows xp ntfs and windows 98 fat32 paritions I don't want that now do I :) Later. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
