I did initially try to use it with Lazarus IDE. I setup Lazarus IDE by pointing it to the cross-compiler, then tried to compile my project. It failed - can't remember the error. In hindsight, it was probably because I failed to specify a Target and OS platform in the "Project Options|Compiler Settings" - not sure. Anyway, not to waste time debugging that or reading docs, I simply built a true 64-bit compiler. My project then compiled without problems. > The Mac OS X 64-bit compilers are also cross-compilers (although the > x86-64 binaries are actually a bit faster on Mac OS X, but it reduces Any thoughts on why it is slower on Linux and Windows then? It is just a lack of compiler optimisation?
