So I will not add those gdb/gdbserver myself.
I do not know, if anyone else wants to work on that.
I did try (see the other mail).
Also which installer should they be added to?
I suppose you mean installer for Lazarus ?
The only installer which does arm, is the wince. (and that may also
need some maintenance, not sure, if it comes with gdb out of the box)
Why that ?
ARM Linux is a very viable target today. Very famous hardware like
Raspberry Pi and (IMHO more appropriate) BeagleBone (black) can run
Lazarus native, as they do have rather decent video hardware. I
suppose the same installer would be able to support both. (I don't
know anything about how installers support different Linux
distributions.) A friend of mine successfully runs Lazarus on Debian
on BeagleBone.
For headless devices it would be possible to do Lazarus native with a
remote GUI tool (VNC / NoMachine / X via TCP/IP). I don't know if this
is really appropriate.
A "cross" distribution supposedly would need a dedicated installer
(like that for WinCE). I could imagine that a Windows--->ARM-Linux and
a PC-Linux--->ARM-Linux both could be viable. Same would need contain
the cross fpc, the appropriate "cross" gdb and gdbserver pair (or just
the standard gdb for ARM when using the "dual SSH" way).
Actually I do not use the linux installers. So I dont know anything
about them. Just form the look at Sourceforge I concluded they did not
seem to have an arm target.
