This cross-compiler is then usually stored in the same directory as the native compiler. compiler running on the host platform, but able to create machine code for a different CPU (in the case of FPC, such a cross-compiler would be again able to target all supported platforms available on the _target_ CPU). If you need to create binaries for a different CPU, you need a special cross-compiler, i.e. This means that you can perform cross-compilation with the same compiler used for native compilation as long as you stick to the same CPU. Just tell it to do so.įPC is designed so that the distributed compiler can create machine code for a certain CPU (because different CPUs need different machine code) and it knows specific requirements for all supported platforms (operating systems) available on that particular CPU. It can create binaries for many platforms. Free Pascal itself does not need much setup.
Therefore these binaries are platform specific. Moreover, the binaries refer to the APIs provided by the particular operating system, that's why a different implementation of our Run-Time Library is necessary for different operating systems. These binaries also contain information on how the operating system starts the executables. In this case, the platform used for compilation is usually referred to as "host" (Linux in the example above) and the platform where you want to run your created binaries is your "target".įree Pascal is a compiler and basically converts source into binaries (machine language). working under Linux and creating Win32 executables (or those for FreeBSD or Darwin, etc.). The following sections describe how to setup a system to cross compile, that means creating binaries (executables) for a platform different from the one used for compilation - e.g. This is a short introduction for users new to cross compiling.
