Freebsd CGI Compile Linking Error
« on: December 03, 2010, 07:11:09 am »
FPC Version 2.5.1
Laz Version 0.9.29

Im trying to cross compile a FreeBSD CGI program from my windows box.

It works fine, until i add a IdTCPclient to the webModule i get the following linking error


Code: [Select]
Hint: Start of reading config file C:\pp\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg
Hint: End of reading config file C:\pp\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg

Any ideas? thanks

This is normal, and a general *nix platforms "feature" (problem). All used dynamic libraries must be present on the system at linking time.

Read the buildfaq for more background information on crosscompiling:

That URL is mostly unrelated.  Nearly every C program needs libc.so and probably also libgcc.so
