Note that you probably don't need two different cross
compilers if your cpu-OS target is the same
Target CPU family is same: "arm", but Target processor is not
the same: "ARMv4" versus "ARMv7" ...
So I do not know if this requires two pre-compiled
cross-compilers or not?
You only need different compilers if you have different ABIs
(e.g. Soft Float vs. Hard Float). For WinCE that isn't applicable
however.
So it does not matter how I build cross-compiler using
FpcUpDeluxe: wheter I use "-Cparmv5" or "-Cparmv7A" ?
Correct.
Then there is still problem with precompiled RTL/packages?
Because when I only change "Target processor" (in Lazarus build
using FpcUpDeluxe) I can compile application, but I can not run it
on target system (so I guess, that resulting EXE is not compiled
for target processor).
When I add to Custom options: -CfVFPV2 then I get error while
compiling: Fatal: Can't find unit system used by Test1
When I download and install default Lazarus and cross-compiler
then when I change "Target processor" to "ARMv5" or "ARMv7A" I
get: "project1.lpr(22,0) Error: Error while assembling exitcode 1"
As said by Christo you need to select the correct set of compiled
units. Also you need to select the correct processor type when
building your application.
I did this test:
1. I have precompiled units for "-Cparmv5" and "-Cparmv7A"and I have
saved these precompiled units
2. Then I copy "v5" units to expected directory (of FpcUpDeluxe
structure) fpc\units\arm-wince
3. Then I run Lazarus and try build for Target processor ARMv5 and run
on target system ... works
4. Then I have copied "v7" units over prior "v5" units
5. I repeated step 3 ... works on target system with ARMv7 processor
Until now only question is :
Can I set somewhere (in Project Options), in inteligent way, where
compiler will look for precompiled units ... to be able in one project
switch between Build modes, where each build mode will look in other
directory ?
But when I try set also "-CfFPV2" (in Project Options / Custom Options )
then I get:
Fatal: Cannot find system used by fcllaz. Make sure all ppu files of a
package are in its output directory. ppu in wrong
directory=D:\TEMP\fpcupdeluxe\fpc\units\arm-wince\rtl\system.ppu..
I can resolve this error (beside using precompiled units with same flag
set) by adding "-CfFPV2" also in fpc.cfg after:
#IFDEF FPC_CROSSCOMPILING
#IFDEF WINCE
#IFDEF CPUARM
So in this use case it is not sufficient only have two (or third)
distinct sets of precompiled units ...
So can these problems be solved somehow using only Project Options
without need to modify fpc.cfg ?
Btw. in fpc.cfg I have:
# searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-FuD:\TEMP\fpcupdeluxe\fpc/units/$fpctarget
-FuD:\TEMP\fpcupdeluxe\fpc/units/$fpctarget/*
-FuD:\TEMP\fpcupdeluxe\fpc/units/$fpctarget/rtl
Can this be avoided in fpc.cfg and transfered to Project Options ? (is
/* supported in Lazarus, becuase Lazarus complains about non-existent
directory)
TIA
-Laco.
