<pre wrap="">I'm pretty sure it's possible with Lazarus, but I can't give exact

itself directly from the command line.
However, this page has some pointers:

Looks like I need to recompile FPC (or make a special compile of
it) to be able to compile to ARM. <br>
<br>
That URL you gave me says how to compile it, but not sure about if
I need to have some special cross compile code for the
CROSSBINDIR=/home/user/lazarus/fpc/binutils/ portion of it, or do
I just point it to where Linux installed the items installed with
apt-get install binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf ?<br>
<br>
Thanks once again!<br>

So I tried to compile a special version of FPC for arm, I installed:
binutils-2.25<br>
<br>
And I got as far as this:<br>
