[fpc-devel] Cross-linking a DLL

[Alfred]

Dear All,

Looking at t_linux.pas, this code is common (also for other system 
files):

if (isdll) then
begin
      Add('INPUT(');
      Add(sysrootpath+info.DynamicLinker);
      Add(')');
end;

And also:

if libraryadded and not(linklibc) and not(isdll) and 
(tf_section_threadvars in target_info.flags) then
   Add('-l:'+ExtractFileName(defdynlinker));

When cross-compiling, this linker cannot be found in a flat directory 
with library-files (including the dynamic linker).
The only way to solve is using a -XR , and some extra directories. But 
this causes the linker not to be found on the target itself.

Before resorting to all kinds of trickery, I would like to ask if there 
is a more elegant way of handling this.

Executables can easily be cross-compiled. Its the compilation of libs 
that causes problems.

Greetings and thanks.
