Hi,
Thanks for the heads up,
Dom and I have it compiling correctly from an i386 Ubuntu VM, and
running on the ARM Linux box, (that compiler option works fine -meabi=5)
However I still would prefer to get it compiling on my windows box, I
have tried and failed several times to rebuild the binutils following
the guide at http://wiki.freepascal.org/Setup_Cross_Compile_For_ARM
as its all for linux, alot of the commands don’t work, such as
"./configure --target=arm-linux --disable-werror".
You have to do a Canadian Cross. This is where the build, host and
target platforms all differ. On Debian, I install the mingw32 package,
which gives me the linux->mingw32 cross binutils/compilers. They are
called i586-mingw32msvc-*, so my binutils configure command is:
./configure --prefix=/opt/arm-linux-eabi-win32 --target=arm-linux-eabi
--host=i586-mingw32msvc --disable-werror
You may have to adapt this if your cross tools have a different prefix.
Then a simple `make && make install` gets me binutils that I can copy to
my Windows machine.
Nor can i find anywhere thats got some precompiled binutils in this state.
I can upload the binutils I've built somewhere for you to try out, if
you like.
