1. make crossinstall CPU_TARGET=ARM OS_TARGET=embedded SUBARCH=armv6m

Hey, in the mean while i am trying to install the FPC cross compiler on Ubuntu18 to a Raspberry PICO.

Does anybody have URL where the full command line option is? Like a mentioned above. To compile the compiler in the terminal? Greets, Wouter van Wegen

There recommended way to install PICO support is to use fpcupdeluxe, see this wiki page.  Note that currently fpc needs a patch for PICO support, see this discussion.  This means that you cannot simply build a cross compiler with PICO support, unless a few modifications to the compiler source code is made - at least that is my interpretation of the current status.

Anoy body knows a compile command to compile it by hand ?, i quited with fpcupdeluxe.


And i am also looking for command line string to let ppcrossarm compile to a PICO executable file.

 

Again, without the IDE

use fpcupdeluxe sources to find out what it is doing. or use the output in very verbose mode. The ultimate source for cross compiling is here : http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf

The RP2040 patches by Michael Ring is now available for testing here: https://gitlab.com/ccrause/fpc-source/-/tree/rp2040

To download the code and build the cross compiler with RP2040 support:

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. $ git clone https://gitlab.com/ccrause/fpc-source.git
2. $ cd fpc-source
3. $ git checkout rp2040
4. $ make buildbase CPU_TARGET=ARM OS_TARGET=embedded SUBARCH=armv6m
5.  

The make command only has the very basic options, add cross options, install prefix and so forth as needed.
