@sternas

While we wait to get official cross compile support for Windows on Linux, I will try to make some workaround myself, but I will need a little help from you.

In normal FPC/Lazarus installation in Mandriva I used this to compile and install cross compilers for win32 and win64:

# manually compile and install win32 cross

make clean all OS_TARGET=win32 CPU_TARGET=i386 FPC=ppc386
su -c "make crossinstall OS_TARGET=win32 CPU_TARGET=i386 FPC=ppc386"

# manually compile and install win64 cross

make clean all OS_TARGET=win64 CPU_TARGET=x86_64 FPC=ppcx64
su -c "make crossinstall OS_TARGET=win64 CPU_TARGET=x86_64 FPC=ppcx64"

After I installed FPC (both 32bit and 64bit) using CT install scripts (with my changes for Mandriva support) I tried to do same thing.

I only had to add path to fpcmake before each make crossinstall ...

Everything compiled just fine.

Now I need to manually copy compiled files, but I do not know where to put them.

I would probably also need to change some config files, but question is which.

That's why I need your help.

It probably also would be good if you can explain what is needed to make official support. Maybe I can help a little.
