Yes, but, the big difference is that the ARM cross compiler for Linux is =

an official FPC release and therefore useable without digging into the =

compiler build process. Simply download 2.0.4 for ARM and ready you are.

There is one big thing I forgot totally forget about in my original =

e-mail: Francesco Lombardi did build and upload a Win32 -> ARM Linux =

crosscompiler snapshot sime time ago:

Yes, it is less work to get everything running, and development is easier, =

since you can test your software on your desktop instead of having to =

transfer it to your ARM device every time.
