After trying and failing to install a cross-compiler on my Linux x64
system, I want to install FPC directly onto the system.
Can you advise the best procedure. After downloading and installing
fpc-2.6.2.arm-linux.tar I get errors:
That compiler is probably built for ARMv6, so it's normal that it
doesn't work on your system. Additionally, you first have to determine
the ABI in use on your system. To do so, run "objdump -p /bin/ls" and
have a look at the "private flags" section near the end.
If it contains "EABI", then you have to build an EABI cross-compiler
(compile the ARM compiler with -dFPC_ARMEL in the make OPT parameter),
otherwise you have to build an old ABI cross-compiler (compile the ARM
compiler with no specific parameters in the make OPT parameter, but
add -Cfsoft to CROSSOPT to ensure the created native compiler uses
software floating point).
