[Lazarus] Cross compile for Linux x64 on Windows 7 x64?

[DougC]

I am VERY interested in how this question is answered and resolved. It 
seems to be a weak point in how the Lazarus/FPC effort has developed. 



This type of question has prevented me from diving into the Lazarus/FPC 
ecosystem because there seem to be regular requests for help in resolving this 
type of issue.

I have a command line utility created in Lazarus 2.0.0/fpc 3.0.4 on

Windows 7 x64. I use the Lazarus/fpc downloaded via this page:

https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads



Now I want to compile this project for Linux on the same x64 Intel CPU

so I can run it under Ubuntu 16.4 LTS Server x64.

Since that is a headless machine (it is a server) I need to build the

utility by cross-compile on my Windows x64 Lazarus installation.



Is there a *simple* instruction on how to do this? I have looked at

the doc page:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling

but it is too complex for me to understand. I tried to just go to the

sections I deemed relevant to my simple (and probably very common)

case but they all cross-reference into a maze...



I need a "For Dummies" how-to which presupposes I have installed

Lazarus/Fpc for Windows x64 and then tells me what to download extra

(and from where) and also how to set up the project environment to

make the Linux target.

Is something like that available?
