<body>Hello to all,<div><br /></div><div>As you might know, I am the maintainer of fpcupdeluxe.</div><div>Its a tool to install FPC and Lazarus. And to install cross-compilers.</div><div><br /></div><div>Intro.</div><div><br /></div><div>As part of fpcupdeluxe, binutils (and libs) are created/hosted to be able to cross-compile from various systems.</div><div>E.g. for Windows:</div><div><div>
<a href="https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.1">https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.1</a></div></div><div><div>
<a href="https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.0">https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/wincrossbins_v1.0</a></div></div><div>And also various bootstrappers:</div><div><div>
<a href="https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/bootstrappers_v1.0">https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/bootstrappers_v1.0</a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Among other things, especially the binary utilities might be of interest for FPC.</div><div><br /></div><div>Question.</div><div><br /></div><div>Would it be an idea to host (part of these) fpcup[deluxe] utilities on the FPC ftp server for general use ?</div><div>These utilities could be used by many, with or without fpcupdeluxe.</div><div>At this moment, info about cross-compiling is very scattered, as are the tools needed. </div><div><br /></div><div>Remark.</div><div><br /></div><div>There could be more to share.</div><div>Aros: the collect-aros utility has been adapted to compile on Mac, Linux and Windows (mingw) to produce working Aros binaries on all these systems.</div><div>OpenBSD: the latest vanilla binutils (2.17) have been pimped to compile on all systems, including Windows.</div><div>More binutils for various systems have been adapted to compile on various systems.</div><div><br /></div><div>Greetings.</div></body></html>
