[fpc-pascal] Downloaded cross-compiler from Sourceforge - wiki incorrect?

[Bo Berglund]

I tried to add a cross-compiler for Win32 to my existing Lazarus 2.2.4
installation on Windows 10 x64.

So I followed the instructions on the fpc wiki:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling#From_win64_to_win32

The link to SF from the Wiki got me to SF and I could download the cross exe I
needed.

But when I try to run it, Windows pops up a "Windows protected your PC" message:

"Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting.
Running this app might put your PC at risk."

There is a button "Don't run" and a link to more info that displays:

"Application: 
lazarus-2.2.4-fpc-3.2.2-cross-i386-win32-win64.exe 
Publisher:  
Unknown publisher"

Now another button "Run anyway" is shown, so I did that and the install seemed
to work...

As described in the Wiki I selected to install into the same folder as I had
installed Lazarus 2.2.4 initially.

Then opened Lazarus 2.2.4 with my project and changed project options as
follows:

Compiler_Options/Config_and_Target/Target OS(-T): Win32

Everything else left as-is.


Now when I OK this, Lazarus pops up a message saying:
--------------------------------------
The current FPC has no config file. It will probably miss
some units. Check your installation of fpc.
--------------------------------------

When I hit the OK button another pop-up:
--------------------------------------
The project uses target OS=win32 and CPU=x86_64.
The system.ppu for this target was not found in the FPC
binary directories.
Make sure fpc is installed correctly for this target and the
fpc.cfg contains the right directories.
[OK]
---------------------------------------

So I followed the install instructions on the Wiki and wound up in this
non-working state...

What steps are missing that I must do?
Why does it not find the correct system.ppu?

I searched the install dir for system.ppu and found two here:

C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\units\i386-win32\rtl
C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\units\x86_64-win64\rtl


What I see is:
in C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\bin\ only x86_64-win64 exists

in C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\units these dirs exsist:
i386-win32
x86_64-win64

in C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\fpmkinst these dirs exsist:
i386-win32
x86_64-win64

It seems like the cross installer failed to install the cross binaries, why????

I must have done something seriously wrong...

Or could the problem be that Windows Defender has blocked all exe files from
being installed?
