hi...
i am new to lazarus,how can i use it to compile for pocketpc/smartphones?
i have followed all instructions to make arm compiler and build libraries,so i can create console applications but how can i use lazarus to create something with forms?

CCRDude:
Sorry Sekel, I was just trying to be careful about what is supported ;)
Just looked through FAQs and some docs and didn't know something was in work.

Palm was my idea regarding 68k as well (and that sentence was just a general, off-topic sigh, not a complaint), but honestly, while I still know some 68k assembler, and even have an old Apple Mac Color Classic and LC III (great 68k machines :D , my knowledge is too limited for that level of work.

Well... if compiling for ARM works, I would love to see something for Symbian... the two compilers normally used (Metroworks now bought by Nokia, and that old Borland stuff) are both really bad to use. I know how to use the Symbian API, and I know how to write in C++, but it's just not the same as Pascal 8) Guess I need to play around a bit with cross-compiling for ARM as well ;)

Currently the IDE can be used to write and design the software, but it cannot be used to compile it. We are working on it and should be fixed in maybe 1 month.

So, create a new Lazarus project with a form. Drop a Button and a TEdit on a form. Save everything.

There are instructions about how to create a batch script to compile the LCL.

After you compiled the LCL for arm-wince, you can create a batch script to compile the software you just designed.

Well, for Lazarus-Symbian to work, first we need the compiler to support this.

The architecture (ARM) is ready, so it's only necessary to implement the platform-dependent parts of the Free Pascal Run-time library (RTL) for Symbian.

If you can get the RTL working, I can write a Lazarus interface for it ;)
