As long as you don't get system specific - i.e. use units like BaseUnix or even libc directly - in your programs, cross compiling with fpc really just is as complex as specifying the right -T<system> switch, and possibly giving the required extension for the output file. With MSE-IDE, it gets a bit more involved, because it includes a couple system specific units, but they are cleanly separated in separate subdirectories. Nonetheless, they have to be specified correctly for the compiler, which makes the "TARGET" macro neccessary. And, of course, it requires that you have the (binary) units for _both_ systems installed correctly, so that the compiler can use them. (As an aside: My first attempt at cross compiling with fpc was a demo version of a user interface. I developed it on Linux with MSE-IDE, but was asked for a Windows version as well. So I simply took the MSE-IDE command line, changed every "linux" to "win32", and let the compiler run. It ran through without an error, producing an executable without the .exe extension AFAIR, but after adding this, a quick test with wine or so showed it was running well! No fuss, no problems - but no system specific functions, either... ;) -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
