Lazarus cross-compiler for embedded arm

[dbannon]

Compilation attempt of blinking example ended up successfully. I have one more small question about the configuration in Lazarus:
if I start new project (for Pico) it would be nice to check someting in the project that this is for Pico, so then all necesarry options like

-Wpraspi_pico
-godwarfsets
-godwarfcpp
-Xu

I wouldn't have to add them manually; they would be added automatically after selecting a project for Pico. I'm not sure if am I making myself clear? Maybe I've even seen it somewhere before, but I forgot how to do it...

I am not aware of  specific define for the Pico but CPUARM should be defined. So, possibly, if you are not doing any other ARM work, you could add

Code: [Select]

#ifdef CPUARM
-Wpraspi_pico
-godwarfsets
-godwarfcpp
-Xu
#endif
into your fpc.cfg file. Untested !

Good point, although I compile to RPi 3/4 as well, but maybe it can be distinguished somehow with a compilation directive too?
Btw, I installed in my trunk Fpc/Lazarus  pas2js rtl/WCL. It was not simply..Somehow, the pas2js version installed with fpcupdeluxe compiled the project, but opening project1.html in the browser didn't look right. I removed that version and manually installed version 2.2.0. I have the same version installed in Lazarus 2.2.6. Now, if I have a moment, I'll connect a LAN adapter to my PICO and try to write an HTTP server with gui made with pas2js

Hmm, RasPi3 is 64bit but because of limited hardware, some people recommend using the 32bit OS. I don't, so, I can depend on #ifdef CPUAARCH64  I'd expect there to be some define specific for the Pico but I cannot find it, might be a case of reading through the source ?

I have never touch pas2js, no idea I am afraid.
