Another option is to use CoLinux, which let's you compile anything once you just get Linux up and running on windows. I found was a lot less work in the end. You have access to all linux related commands and linux related everything, since you are essentially running linux in windows.
| | Requirements: | - FPC 1.9.6 or higher. 1.9.4 might work, but untested. | - ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/mingw/binutils-2.15-win32-i386-l inux.zip | - A FPC CVS repository. (anything 1.9.6+ that is buildable will do) | - a lazarus tree. (anything buildable from the same period will do) | - Lots of libraries from the target linux system. One of the FPC servers is some SUSE, | that's where I got the list below. | | 1) Download ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/mingw/binutils-2.15-win32-i386-l inux.zip | 2) extract it and move the i386* files to <fpcbindir>\bin\i386-win32 (e.g. c:\pp\bin\i386\win32) | 3) enter FPC source dir | 4) make clean | 5) make OS_TARGET=linux all | 6) make OS_TARGET=linux install INSTALL_PREFIX=<fpcbindir> | 7) prepare the lib directory as in below instructions, I used d:\fpc\linuxlib to store them. | 8) go to <fpcbindir>\units\i386-linux\rtl and copy cprt21.o over cprt0.o | 9) enter lazarus dir | 10) edit lazarus.pp and add {$linklib dl} and {$linklib gmodule} somewhere in the source. | 11) make OS_TARGET=linux all OPT="-gl -Fld:\fpc\linuxlib -Xr/usr/lib -FL/usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 " | | If some linker error (most specifically linker can't find -l<something>) then | | 12) manually edit link.res if needed (see below for gtk remarks) and adapt the -l<x> names at the bottom of the files. I had to add -1.2 to all gtk | libs, to keep them apart from gtk2 | 13) run ppas.bat to restart the linker | | ----------- Libraries | | These are the libraries I collected for both lazarus and the textmode IDE | (lazarus doesn't need pthread). | | I gathered these from the target system, and renamed all from | lib<name>.so.x.y to lib<name>.so. | | libgcc.a and a few others are easiest found by doing gcc -v and look for a line like | | "Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/specs" | | then some of the libs are in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/ | Some other good locations are /lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/x11R6/lib and /opt/gnome/lib | | libpthread.so.0 | libdl.so | libc.so | ld-linux.so.2 | crtbegin.o | crtbeginS.o | crtbeginT.o | crtend.o | crtendS.o | crtn.o | crti.o | libgcc.a | libX11.so | libXi.so | libglib-1.2.so | libgmodule-1.2.so.0 | libgdk_pixbuf.so | libgdk-1.2.so | libgtk-1.2.so | libXext.so | libm.so | libdl.so.2 | libgmodule-1.2.so | | Note that some directories are duplicate, with a suffix and not. These are required because some other lib has a dependancy on that | exact name (so the form lib<name>.so.x) we can't symlink on windows, so I simply copy it. | | Making mistakes with renaming is not that bad, there will be chances to fix it. Make sure all crt* and a file "libc.so" are available, otherwise | generating link.res will go wrong. (Yes, Peter, that was my fault :-) | | In my case compilation for step 11 will go ok, but the linker will complain it can't find libgtk.so and the other libraries marked with -1.2 | This is because on the target system, libgtk is gtk 2.0, while we want gtk1.2 for lazarus. | | To fix this I manually added -1.2 to the corresponding -l lines in the bottom of the link.res file that was generated by step 11 | | _______________________________________________ | fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org | http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
