As maintainer of fpcupdeluxe, I feel the need of stepping into this
discussion.
(which I do not often do, because of the freedom of choice)
Yes, setting up cross-compiling is a non-trivial task.
This is why fpcup(deluxe) has been created by its original author
(BigChimp).
He wanted to give the users of FPC and Lazarus:
* an easy way of installing different versions of FPC and Lazarus.
* isolate these installs
* enable easy cross-compilation
So, just
* use fpcupdeluxe
* have a look at the forum about fpcupdeluxe
* see how cross-compiling is setup and done
And, do not use fpcupdeluxe if you do not want to. As I said, the
freedom is yours.

Onderwerp: Re: [Lazarus] Cross compile for Linux x64 on Windows 7 x64?
I am VERY interested in how this question is answered and resolved. It
seems to be a weak point in how the Lazarus/FPC effort has developed.
This type of question has prevented me from diving into the Lazarus/FPC
ecosystem because there seem to be regular requests for help in
resolving this type of issue.

I have a command line utility created in Lazarus 2.0.0/fpc 3.0.4 on
Windows 7 x64. I use the Lazarus/fpc downloaded via this page:
https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads
Now I want to compile this project for Linux on the same x64 Intel CPU
so I can run it under Ubuntu 16.4 LTS Server x64.
Since that is a headless machine (it is a server) I need to build the
utility by cross-compile on my Windows x64 Lazarus installation.
Is there a *simple* instruction on how to do this? I have looked at
the doc page:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling
but it is too complex for me to understand. I tried to just go to the
sections I deemed relevant to my simple (and probably very common)
case but they all cross-reference into a maze...
I need a "For Dummies" how-to which presupposes I have installed
Lazarus/Fpc for Windows x64 and then tells me what to download extra
(and from where) and also how to set up the project environment to
make the Linux target.
Is something like that available?
