[fpc-pascal] is there a ready to use FPC Cross compiler x86-Linux -> MIPS-linux?

[Dennis Poon]

On debian squeeze, I installed* fpc 2.6.0-9*
and I followed the instruction "svn checkout 
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn*/fpc/trunk* fpc"
which I believe is the latest version of fpc source code

then I followed the instruction to try to compile * ppmipsel.lpi* but 
since that seems like a Lazarus project file I had to first compile 
lazarus first
but when I downloaded lazarus-src_0.9.28.2-12_all.deb and 
lazarus-ide_0.9.28.2-12_i386.deb from  packages.debian.org/squeeze/devel/
and run Make  in the /usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2 folder   I got the 
following error:

Compiling lclmemmanger.pas
lclmemmanger.ps(100,37) Error: Cannot access a private field of an 
object here

...
then Fatal: compilation aborted

I am new to Free Pascal.
Is there a way to compile the cross compiler *ppmipsel.lpi* without 
using Lazarus (since that seems to fail to compile possibly due to  
version conflicts)?


Thanks in advance.
