Understanding is always a requirement. If you want "hello world" on many platforms and building a FPC cross-compiler is to complex, then perhaps you have the wrong tool for the job.
Chances are that no compiled language is needed ("hello world is not CPU intensive") and you could try Java, Python, Perl, etc. Choose the right tool for the job. :)

If you want to do it, because you 'love' pascal, then show your dedication by learning the stuff needed. I am sure the people on the FPC list will help you, if you have any troubles.
