I build FPC cross-compilers for Windows, Macintosh and (32 bit) Linux on a Debian Wheezy 64 bit host.<br><br>There appears to be a bug in the build process that produces dodgy <i>crosszipinstall tarballs</i> for Windows.<br>
<br>This applies to FPC 2.6.0, 2.6.2 RC1 and 2.7.1 (today's SVN head). It's completely broken in 2.7.1 so I'll ignore that.<br><br>Below is the <b>build script</b> and the (filtered) <b>directory layout</b> of each tarball produced when building 2.6.2 RC 1.<br>
<br><b>fpc-2.6.2rc1.x86_64-linux.tar.gz</b> is the native compiler. All the others are all cross-compilers.<br><br>Both windows compilers have directory structures that are different and seem to be wrong.<br><br>They do not appear to map where <b>fpc</b> expects to find <b>ppcross386</b> and <b>ppcrossx64</b> compilers (i.e. <i>lib/fpc/2.6.2</i>) and instead they are located in <i><b>bin/<arch>/</b></i>. Further, the tarball cannot simply be unpacked at the installation root (e.g. /usr/local) to have everything put in the correct place.<br>
<br>I can manually work around this problem but am I missing something? <br><br>Is this installation difference intentional?<br><br>Is there some additional option required when building cross compilers for Windows?<br><br>
Many thanks, Cheers, Bruce.<b></b><br><pre><span class="comment-delimiter"><b>Build Script...</b><br><br># </span><span class="comment">Build Mac OSX 10.6 64 Bit...
