I think that what Sven meant is that fpc's Windows installers include binutils, while this is not true for other platforms: that is, you need to have ld on your system if you want to use it as a linker, fpc does not provide it.
Same as for windres: if you need it, usually you can install it from mingw's binutils. In fedora I can install it from mingw32-binutils (or mingw64-binutils). I see that a package with the same name also exists in FreeBSD, so I assume it will contain windres as well. https://www.freshports.org/devel/mingw32-binutils/ Giulio On 24/09/17 16:53, Graeme Geldenhuys wrote: > On 2017-09-24 16:49, Sven Barth via fpc-pascal wrote: >> Because it's only Windows that we provide a setup for. > > > Huh?
