The free pascal 1.0.6 cross compiler host windows target linux is now
working.
I used cygwin, binutils-2.14 and free pascal.
( mingw unfortunately did not working: missing bison, flex, etc :) )
I tested a simple hello world program with knoppix ( linux running from
cd-rom ).
Then I also tested it with a red hat linux server.
The only problem seems to be that the hello world is denied access.
It says: permission denied...
That is probably easily solved with chmod.
I am just wondering if the free pascal compiler can set these permission
automatically for the linux executables.
( Is that the right term, linux executables ? :) )
So other weird red hat linux server behaviour... I have to use: ./hello
( just hello does work on knoppix )
That's probably a red hat linux server setting... ./ means current folder...
Just wondering what that is all about.
I ll bet I'll also write a tutorial so others can do it.
Also with a little side note why I want it... many asked why not install
linux.
My short answer would be: 1. no space. 2. I read linux can destroy NTFS
partitions :)
Since I have windows xp ntfs and windows 98 fat32 paritions I don't want
that now do I :)
Later.
