<pre wrap="">I'm modifying the lazarus packaging scripts to make building debs of
lazarus, fpc and cross-fpc variants simpler than it is. (Cross is not
simple right now)
I've read the buildfaq (thanks Marco) and various fpc build scripts but
am still puzzled in this respect:
Why does:
$ cd fpc
$make clean all OS_TARGET=win32 FPC=/usr/bin/ppc386
make:
./compiler/ppc386.exe
I thought I was building a cross-compiler, not cross-compiling one - or
is it a side effect of building the rtl etc?

The thing you are missing (read buildfaq better :-) is that FPC doesn't have
to be cross for platforms on the same architecture.

I used 386-win32 for testing the script because FPC-SVN won't compile
for arm-wince - I'll try a ppc build for the test then.<br>
<br>
So... because the makefile knew it was compiling for the same
architecture it decided that I wasn't building an fpc cross compiler
but cross building an fpc compiler? That's a bit unexpectedly clever...<br>
