Sven,
I am more than happy to start all over with windows.
Can give me instructions on how to install the crosstools and binutils
for windows? and maybe add them to the doc as well?
Will I need to install mingw and other c related stuff (like make
command etc) in windows first?
I've never build binutils manually yet, so I'm not of much help here... :(
Hopefully, after that I can just follow your instruction to build cross
compilers in Windows word by word.
Ok, then add the following option: "BINUTILSPREFIX=" (there is no
value after the "=", but ensure that there is a space to the next
option if there is any)
Sorry, I am really ignorant and don't know where to add the option?
Should I modify the makefile? where should I add that option?
The command on the wiki should be
make all CPU_TARGET=mipsel OS_TARGET=linux BINUTILSPREFIX=
You'll need to change Lazarus' compiler to the newly compiled trunk
compiler. If you also built the normal linux one using "make all
install ..." you can point Lazarus to the directory which you passed
in INSTALL_PREFIX (in the example C:\fpc\2.7.1) and add the remaining
path to the fpc binary (on Windows "bin\i386-win32" on Linux just
"bin"). Then you should be able to successfully set "Target CPU" in
the compiler settings to Mips and confirm with OK.
I had problem compiling Lazarus, when I "make all install", it said:
lazarus.pp(133,1) Error: Can't call the resource compiler
"/usr/bin/fpcres", switching to external mode
lazarus.pp(133,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
So I ended up downloading a debian Lazarus from Lazarus web site.
A downloaded Lazarus is ok.
So far, I only had experience in compiling using Lazarus. Never used
make or the fpc directly.
Can you tell me the exact command I should use to 'point Lazarus to the
direcdtory which you passed in INSTALL_PREFIX ....' and "add the
remaining path to...'
Once you did the
make all install INSTALL_PREFIX=/whereever/you/want/fpc/trunk
which I mentioned at last in the wiki article you can in Lazarus just go
to Options => Settings => Environment => Compiler path (or so, I'm using
the German version) and enter the path to the fpc binary there (in the
example above it would be /whereever/you/want/fpc/trunk/bin/fpc). You
also need to generate a fpc.cfg (normally located in ~/.fpc.cfg). You
can just backup the one stored there and replace all paths in there.
Regards,
Sven
