I started to study to develop Android applications in Lazarus IDE.
I'm following the tutorial:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Custom_Drawn_Interface/AndroidBut I don't get sucess to compile cross-platform.
I'm using Windows, with "Lazarus 0.9.30.2 fpc 2.4.4 win32".
I've downloaded Android SDK and NDK, ok.
I don't understand the step 2 and 3: Why download FPC 2.5.1 and then use FPC 2.4.4 ???
And then, in the "build.bat", the "make.exe" utility recuses "crossinstall" parameter.
I've tested the "Devel Linux Image - Virtual Box" and it work's fine for Android compilation, but I would like to use directly in my Windows section.
What I am doing wrong ?
Thanks
The part of tutorial:
Building the compiler yourself in Windows
Step 1 - Install the Android SDK and NDK
Download from Google and install both the SDK and the NDK for Windows.
Check your path to the binutils installed by the NDK. For example, for NDK r7 installed in C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\ the path is C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\bin
Also check your path to the libraries installed by the NDK. For example, for NDK r7 installed in C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\ the path is C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr
Step 2 - Download FPC 2.5.1 from January 19th
Create a folder to store the FPC trunk source code and checkout revision 16790
Step 3 - Install FPC 2.4.4
An easy way to obtain a good FPC 2.4.4 is installing Lazarus 0.9.30.2. For example, let's say you install this Lazarus version in C:\Programas\lazarusfpc244
Step 4 - Create the build script and built it
Create the output directory, for example: C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output
Next create a file called build.bat in the fpc root folder, in our example C:\Programas\fpcandroid and copy to it:
SET PATH=C:\Programas\lazarusfpc244\fpc\2.4.4\bin\i386-win32\
make crossinstall CPU_TARGET=arm OS_TARGET=linux CROSSBINDIR=C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\bin OPT=-dFPC_ARMEL BINUTILSPREFIX=arm-linux-androideabi- INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output
pause
Next run this batch script and you should have FPC installed into C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output
Step 5 - Copy some cross-binutils into the bin dir
You now should have a FPC binary in C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output\bin\i386-win32
Now get these 3 files:
C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-as.exe C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-ld.exe C:\Programas\android-ndk-r7\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-strip.exe
And copy and then rename to have:
C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output\bin\i386-win32\arm-linux-as.exe C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output\bin\i386-win32\arm-linux-ld.exe C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output\bin\i386-win32\arm-linux-strip.exe
Step 6 - Merge this into a Lazarus FPC setup
Let's say you have the following Lazarus C:\Programas\lazarus31 with the following fpc installed inside it: C:\Programas\lazarus31\fpc\2.5.1\bin\i386-win32 and C:\Programas\lazarus31\fpc\2.5.1\units\
Now copy C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output\units\arm-linux to C:\Programas\lazarus31\fpc\2.5.1\units\
Now copy all .exe files from C:\Programas\fpcandroid\output\bin\i386-win32\ into C:\Programas\lazarus31\fpc\2.5.1\bin\i386-win32
Now you can already build the example project androidlcltest.lpi using the Windows-Release build mode
