For example, you can compile for Windows from Linux operating system with cross compilers. For that you will have to use a cross compiler over your existing fpc compiler.Ĭross compile is even possible for operating systems that are not currently installed on your system. For example, if you have a 64bit Lazarus installed, it may be able to compile for 64bit just fine. If I want to be more correct, cross compile means to compile for an architecture that the currently installed fpc can't handle by default. Simply put, cross compile lets us to create executables for a platform that we are not currently running. What is cross compiling and why is it important? And it turns out it was possible! Through Cross Compilation! I was thinking if I could build EXEs for Windows users, without going to a Windows machine. I use Linux most of the times and reduced the use of Windows as much as I can. It was built by people just like us from all over the world.
Plus, Linux is free to download and Free as in freedom.
MAKEFILE CROSS COMPILE C LINUX MAC OS INSTALL
In Windows, you have to download things, install things one by one - which is a waste of time.
MAKEFILE CROSS COMPILE C LINUX MAC OS UPDATE
Linux has one command to update not just the browsers, but all of the software in the system. Think about updating browsers on both Windows and Linux. Many people say that it's easy to use and common, but I find it as a security and privacy nightmare, plus a bloat and very difficult to maintain. How many times have you thought of providing your software for a platform and was planning on running that OS just to create executables for it? I don't know about you, but it recently struck my mind, when I was attaching binaries to one of the LazPlanet example releases on GitLab. It's alive! It's working! We're compiling for other OSs that we don't have.
