I helped work on a program that was used heavily on both Windows and
Linux. We typically did not need to do anything special; as mentioned,
the output directories include the target platform. The biggest issue
we had was that we used a fair number of non-Lazarus/FPC dependencies,
and it ended up being easier, in general, to produce complete
installations for Windows from Windows in a lot of cases.
But compiling and cross compiling worked fine. In fact, Lazarus/FPC
was the only environment we found or that I know about today that
handles platform differences so well.
