[Lazarus] Cross-compiling to win32 from debian stretch

[kardan]

Hallo,

As a I am new to this list, FreePascal and Lazarus I need a little help
by you to crosscompile our project to win32. Compiling to win64 however
succeeds:

$ lazbuild --pcp=../../lazconf --os=win64 --cpu=x86_64 Tomboy_NG.lpi
...
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.1.1 [2017/11/27] for x86_64

2336192 bytes code, 408468 bytes data (1022) 2 hint(s) issued

As you see, I installed FPC from trunk with the steps documented here:
https://github.com/traumschule/tomboy/issues/2

I had to use the repository as the zip version
ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/trunk/source/fpc.zip (3.1.1) did not
create ppcross386 for OS_TARGET=win32". With the version from trunk it
works however.

Now compiling our project for i386 compared to above output another fpc
is used and fails:

$ lazbuild --pcp=../../lazconf --os=win32 --cpu=i386 Tomboy_NG.lpi
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.4rc1 [2017/08/07] for i386

$ which fpc
/usr/local/bin/fpc
$ fpc -V|head -n1

$ ls /usr/lib/fpc/*/units

$ ls /usr/bin/ppcross*

$ /usr/bin/ppcrossx64 -V|head -n1

I assume the solution is to specify another compiler
in ../../lazconf/environmentoptions.xml so I attached it. I am using
Lazarus 1.8.0RC5 installed via deb from sourceforge. Without other
advise I will try again with Lazarus from trunk.

If you want to try my steps, this repository may be of help:
https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy-ng

To build it, I use ansible for automation:
https://github.com/traumschule/tomboy

To explain the funny path above, these are the steps I did:
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/traumschule/tomboy
cd tomboy
./bin/configure.sh # this installs lazarus, patches KControls and
checks out tomboy-ng cd src/tomboy-ng
lazbuild --pcp=../../lazconf --os=win32 --cpu=i386 Tomboy_NG.lpi

Thanks!
