Solution 1) needs to be fixed. This is a prerequisite for good cross-compiling support. Maybe even the executables need to be placed in a bin/cpu-os directory and symlinked (or copied) to the current dir. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
