you should be able too..

[a.atalla]

is like this

Code: [Select]

lazbuild --cpu=i386
that give me the error

Code: [Select]

Error: ppc386 can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "ppc386", error code: 127
ERROR: failed compiling of project

Not as simple as running lazbuild buddy, you'll need a cross compiler. Read our holy wiki.

A little correction, for 64bit linux /windows, you can also run the native 32bit compiler. No need for a crosscompiler

Oh, I forgot that these OSes provide backward compatibility

that mean i can install fpc and lazarus 32bit version on my 64bit system and work normally
but then i wion't be able to build 64bit binary

i think i will use a 32bit system on virtualbox to build the 32bit binaries

You can install both, side by side. One is called ppc386, the other ppcx64

You don't need 32-bit lazarus for this, just fpc.

fpc alone won't help, since it is a frontend for ppc386 or ppcx64. You do need the actual compolers

[Leledumbo]

by fpc, I mean the "whole" package, not just "fpc" executable
