[fpc-devel] Small virtual machine to cross compile FPC

[Paul Breneman]

I've spent a bit of time during the past 7 years trying to figure out 
how to simplify things by avoiding cross-compiling.  This page has many 
of the details:

I think there is a way to simplify cross-compiling.  Levinux is a small 
(~20 MB) QEMU download for x86 PCs (Windows, OS X, Linux) that provides 
a small Tiny Core Linux VM.  I'd like to see something similar but with 
all the files and tools needed to pull the latest source code and 
cross-compile FPC (also with Debian instead of Tiny Core?).

It seems to me that such a small VM should allow a nice standard method 
that will make it easy to test and see things work.

I look forward to your thoughts and comments!
