Why are you using arm-linux as target? Should it be arm-android instead?

At least it appears like you're mixing arm-linux libs and arm-android (ndk) libs.

Android is more or less a fork of linux, thus mixing linux and android libs is undesirable.

There are several options to build APKs using Lazarus/FPC:

- FPC JVM
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPC_JVM_Android_Development

- Laz4Android
This package uses Custom Drawn Interface.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/laz4android/

- LazToApk
This tool will help you automatically download Laz4Android, Android SDK & NDK, configure and perform cross compiling.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/laztoapk/

- Lazarus Android Module Wizard (LAMW)
It has its own Form Designer and lots of ready to use components.
https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard

- LazSDL2Design Package
Similar to LAMW, it has its own Form Designer and components.
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,33008.0.html

All of them are able to build simple Android apps, but I don't think they're mature enough for serious production use for now. And your chances for success are better if you use it on Windows or Linux environment. For Mac users, you can use VirtualBox:

Are you sure ?
AFAIK it's LazToApk which is using CD Interface. And unfortunately CD interface currently doesn't work on Android >= 5.
Or things have changed ?

Perhaps, I was wrong.

I ever installed Laz4Android and LazToApk, and performed some simple tests only. Because as mentioned, Custom Drawn Interface has issue with Android 5, so I stopped to learn deeper.

After I installed Laz4Android, I got impression that Laz4Android was using Custom Drawn Interface because the tutorial told us to enable Custom Drawn package (in section: Rebuild Laz4Android IDE):
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Android_tutorial

If I'm not wrong, although Laz4Android is using Custom Drawn by default, it  can support LAMW too.

OK now I make croscompiller from 3.1.1 for android and it is work from command line like
sudo /sw/bin/ppcrossarmAndroid -Tandroid -Parm -XS  -dANDROID -Xd -CpARMV6 -FLlibdl.so hello.pas

I want try to use Custom Drawn Interface controls.
1. I install this package
2. Create new project
3. set  Target OS android Target CPU arm Target processor default, Target file name : android\libs\armeabi\liblclapp.so,  Enable strip symbols (-Xs)

And has error

How i can fix that?

Did you compiling it on Mac? Or Linux?

If you're using Mac, I will suggest you to use VirtualBox. Android development using Lazarus/FPC hasn't properly tested on Mac. I'm not a Mac user, nothing much I can help.

If you're a Windows user, I will recommend you to try Laz4Apk first which is much more beginner friendly.

If you're a Linux user, LAMW would be the best one. I specialize myself in using LAMW. It might be a bit challenging for newbies, but if you follow the documentation properly, there should be no problem.

Good luck!

I saw the error messages you provided. It seems you haven't properly install Custom Drawn package, because there are many "gtk" things found in the messages.

I guess, what you've done is just Cross Compile to Android preparation. You still have to install Custom Drawn Interface. More info here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Android_tutorial

Follow the link above and find the "Rebuild Lazarus IDE" topic (near the end of page).

Or follow this steps:
1. Goto Lazarus main menu
2. Package > Install/Uninstall Packages
3. On the right side, type "custom drawn", then select "customdrawn 0.0"
4. Click the "Install selection" button
5. Click the "Save and rebuild IDE" button
