Hi DonAlfredo

Since 1.5 months ago, I have problem to compile OpenBSD version of my text editor, on Linux x64.
Cross was installed ok. But compiling the app - gives an error.
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/issues/818

Who is the culprit here, cross files? FPC 3.2.3 (fixes)?

[DonAlfredo]

Fixes and trunk; t_bsd.pas:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. { Force ld.lld usage for x86_64 openbsd system,
2.     because GNU linker generates wrong executable's on x86_64 OpenBSD 7.5 }
3.   if (cs_link_lld in current_settings.globalswitches) or (target_info.system = system_x86_64_openbsd) then
4.     LdProgram:='ld.lld'

I need to look into this.

I have you seen the Apple M4/5 > x86_64-win64 cross-compiler issue?
The compiler tries to pick up soft float - cross-compilation needs this to build x86_64-win64 - , but only the cross compiler should try that.

I have you seen the Apple M4/5 > x86_64-win64 cross-compiler issue?

Yes. I saw it. Its very hard for me to solve due to non-availability of an Apple M4/5.
So, if anybody is able to (install and use) cross from Apple M4/5 to win64/win32, I am very interested in the commandline that is used to build and use this cross-compiler.

I am not able to build cross compiler for windows 64bit from MacOS M4 processor

fpcupdeluxe version : 2.4.0jp

I have a MacBook Air with an M4 chip, and I perform cross-compilation for Windows x86_64 without any issues using FPCUPdeluxe V2.4.0i

[DonAlfredo]

That is good to know. I will compare V2.4.0i with current sources to find the regression.

[DonAlfredo]

A new full featured pre-release. As a many-bugger-fixer.
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/v2.4.0jp
Welcome to test and just use.
If possible, binaries are now mostly gtk3. Build with Lazarus trunk.
Windows ARM64 is also included and fully working AFAIK.

[AlexTP]

In the github commits I dont see any change for 'my OpenBSD bug', is it hard one to fix?

[DonAlfredo]

I have created new binary tools for OpenBSD containing a symlinklink towards the native system ld.lld (install by: sudo apt install lld).
That should give you a working linker.

Please note that cross-compiling towards OpenBSD is a never ending hell of changing library versions.
I will NOT provide extra libraries due to this versioned linking hell.

https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/linux_amd64_crossbins_all/OpenBSD_AMD64_OpenBSD_V217.zip

[AlexTP]

I removed current symlink
'/home/user/fpcupdeluxe/cross/bin/x86_64-openbsd/x86_64-openbsd-ld.lld'
which pointed to some filename in OS dir (not present on my Linux). I made this symlink but pointing to
'/home/user/fpcupdeluxe/cross/bin/x86_64-openbsd/x86_64-openbsd-ld'
and now cross compilation works ok.
I cannot test the OpenBSD resulting binary so I ask: is my method ok?

[DonAlfredo]

Why can't you test the binary ?

The method is ok. And working. But only due to the fact that I have changed the startup crt*.o files to work with this old linker.
Anyhow, I have made a better stub for ld.lld that will be included when I build the new binutils targetting OpenBSD.

Libraries and version hell.
I have written (and used) a tool to automagically extract the libs needed from online sources. That way, it is very easy to perform versioned linking with all OpenBSD versions out there.

If any request, I will add. Easy-peasy.

I'm running fpcuodeluxe v2.4.0i (this is the file I downloaded fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-linux) on Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit and am trying to install fpc and Lazarus trunk, but fpcupdeluxe stops with an error installing Lazarus.

The only time I've seen that message is when I did not have the developement libraries installed... in your case I'm assuming libgtk-3-dev.

[ap3000]

Yes you where right. Installed libgtk-3-dev and set some paths. AI was helping ;-)

[DonAlfredo]

Time for a new release.
Lazarus (trunk) now able to target GTK3.
FPC and Lazarus able to target Windows ARM64.
