Sorry, been busy all weekend.
I found two procedures for getting this installed. The second one I tried was yours, Pascal Warrior's Journey' . I always try the easy route first, and as it happened, neither procedure would complete without errors, the error being the link.res file that I posted above. Same error in both procedure ends the compilation, which is the syntax error in the last line of the link.res file.
Versions.
fpc version is 3.0.0 .
android sdk is v25 (25.2.2)
ndk - tried v9d and v13
fpc target is also 3.0.0
binutils is v 2.25-5
My distribution is Debian stable with all updates as of today.
I've written some programs years ago using Turbo Pascal and to be honest I would rather spend the time with Android Studio, BUT I have access to fp libraries and source for the application I'm considering so this seems like a logical choice. Maybe it's not, but I'll need to make this installation first to find out.
thanks,
tm
