[fpc-devel] Cross compile Linux-N9 (arm-linux)

[Joost van der Sluis]

Hi all,

I successfully cross-compiled 'Hello World' for my new Nokia N9. the N9
uses a Linux version. (Called Maemo-6 or Meego-Harmattan, depending on
who you ask)

But when I try to link to libc, (for example by adding the cwstrings
unit) the application crashes at startup (in _dl_init, called from
ld-linux.so)

Most probably because a invalid entry point, the linker gives the
following error:

Linking hello
/home/CNOC/joost/QtSDK/Madde/toolchains/arm-2009q3-67-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/arm-2009q3-67/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol cs=/home/CNOC/joost/QtSDK/Madde/targets/harmattan_10.2011.34-1/specs; defaulting to 0000000000008484
11 lines compiled, 0.2 sec

As you can see I use the toolchain (ld, as and libraries/so-files) from
the toolchain from the Nokia-sdk. I don't know what that specs file is
for, but it contains the following:

=======
%rename cc1 old_cc1

*cc1:
-march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls %(old_cc1)

%rename link old_link

*link:
-O 1 --hash-style=gnu -L=/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.4 %(old_link)
=======

Any idea how to proceed?

Joost.
