[fpc-devel] Smarter way of generating ARMHF fpc trunk installation?

[Reinier Olislagers]

fpcup, an FPC/Lazarus build/installation/update program uses the
following steps on ARMHF Linux (e.g. raspbian, odroid):

1. Get FPC stable (2.6.2 currently) ARM bootstrap compiler binary
This compiler cannot directly build ARMHF FPC trunk.

2. Use the compiler to build a regular ARM fpc trunk compiler ("the
intermediate bootstrap" compiler... sorry, not that good at naming :) )

make "FPC=/home/odroid/development/fpcbootstrap/arm-linux-ppcarm"
"--directory=/home/odroid/development/fpctrunk/compiler"
"CROSSOPT=-dFPC_ARMHF -Cparmv7a -CaEABIHF -CfVFPv3" "OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF"
"OS_TARGET=linux" "CPU_TARGET=arm" "OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1" "cycle"

3. Use the generated compiler to build regular ARMHF FPC+RTL etc, as
well as Lazarus.

Would there be a smarter/shorter way of doing this?

Thanks,
Reinier
