I always considered compat/ a run-its-binaries environment only, not a development-for-it environment. What is in compat/ differs with major version, and I haven't kept up. As long as adobe reader works with it, it was always fine with me. I've never tried this the proper way. I always used the scripts that I later put in (fpcbuild/)install/cross to build myself, and then manually fetched libraries from whatever target. Bootstrapping the compiler iirc works without crossbinutils. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
