[fpc-pascal] Error compiling android example: can't locate arm-linux-as

[bsquared]

Hello all,

Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me?

I am trying to configure FPC/Lazarus for Android Cross-Compiling.  I
have followed the directions as indicated here:

  http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Android_Interface

but I get this error on compiling the project.
8< ------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.2/packager/registration/lazaruspackageintf.pas(110)
Error: Assembler arm-linux-as not found, switching to external assembling
-------------------------------------------------------------- >8

If I use ~/.fpc.cfg as indicated in instructions the error is slightly
different.
8< ------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.2/packager/registration/lazaruspackageintf.pas(110)
Error: Assembler /opt/cross-binutils/bin/as not found, switching to
external assembling
-------------------------------------------------------------- >8

however the assembler and others cross-binutils are in my path.

I also tried changing the compiler path (/usr/bin/ppcarm) in Lazarus as
indicated in th instructions, but I got the same result.

I should note that I had originally configured binutils with
--prefix=/usr, but I got this error.  There was no target for 'make
uninstall', so ran ./configure again with --prefix=/opt/cross/binutils,
so I could locate and remove the files from the original run--in case I
had made an error.  I left /opt/cross-binutils as is and modified my path.

Here is a rundown of what I did to configure cross arm compiling:
8< ------------------------------------------------------------
download and extract binutils-2.23
./configure --target=arm-linux --disable-werror --prefix=/opt/cross-binutils
make
sudo make install

sudo mv arm-linux-as{,_orig}
sudo echo '/opt/cross-binutils/bin/arm-linux-as_orig -meabi=5 $@' >
/opt/cross-binutils/bin/arm-linux-as
sudo chmod +x /opt/cross-binutils/bin/arm-linux-as

sudo ln arm-linux-as as
sudo ln arm-linux-ar ar
sudo ln arm-linux-ld ld

sudo ln /usr/share/fpcsrc /opt/

sudo make crossinstall CPU_TARGET=arm OS_TARGET=linux
CROSSBINDIR=/opt/cross-binutils/bin OPT=-dFPC_ARMEL INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

modify PATH in ~/.bashrc
PATH+=":/opt/cross-binutils/bin"

The -Fu *arm-linux* lines appear to be generated, and those paths do not
exist.

Thank you.
