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

Any ideas? thanks

marcov:
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:

darkaxi0m:

ive copied libiconv.a from my freebsd box to my windows.
but now ive come across this

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