I tried to add a cross-compiler for Win32 to my existing Lazarus 2.2.4 installation on Windows 10 x64.
So I followed the instructions on the fpc wiki: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling#From_win64_to_win32 The link to SF from the Wiki got me to SF and I could download the cross exe I needed. But when I try to run it, Windows pops up a "Windows protected your PC" message: "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." There is a button "Don't run" and a link to more info that displays: "Application: lazarus-2.2.4-fpc-3.2.2-cross-i386-win32-win64.exe Publisher: Unknown publisher" Now another button "Run anyway" is shown, so I did that and the install seemed to work... As described in the Wiki I selected to install into the same folder as I had installed Lazarus 2.2.4 initially. Then opened Lazarus 2.2.4 with my project and changed project options as follows: Compiler_Options/Config_and_Target/Target OS(-T): Win32 Everything else left as-is. Now when I OK this, Lazarus pops up a message saying: -------------------------------------- The current FPC has no config file. It will probably miss some units. Check your installation of fpc. -------------------------------------- When I hit the OK button another pop-up: -------------------------------------- The project uses target OS=win32 and CPU=x86_64. The system.ppu for this target was not found in the FPC binary directories. Make sure fpc is installed correctly for this target and the fpc.cfg contains the right directories. [OK] --------------------------------------- So I followed the install instructions on the Wiki and wound up in this non-working state... What steps are missing that I must do? Why does it not find the correct system.ppu? I searched the install dir for system.ppu and found two here: C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\units\i386-win32\rtl C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\units\x86_64-win64\rtl What I see is: in C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\bin\ only x86_64-win64 exists in C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\units these dirs exsist: i386-win32 x86_64-win64 in C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\fpmkinst these dirs exsist: i386-win32 x86_64-win64 It seems like the cross installer failed to install the cross binaries, why???? I must have done something seriously wrong... Or could the problem be that Windows Defender has blocked all exe files from being installed? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
