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

[Alfred]

As maintainer of fpcupdeluxe, I feel the need of stepping into this 
discussion.
(which I do not often do, because of the freedom of choice)

Yes, setting up cross-compiling is a non-trivial task.
This is why fpcup(deluxe) has been created by its original author 
(BigChimp).

He wanted to give the users of FPC and Lazarus:
* an easy way of installing different versions of FPC and Lazarus.
* isolate these installs
* enable easy cross-compilation

So, just
* use fpcupdeluxe
* have a look at the forum about fpcupdeluxe
* see how cross-compiling is setup and done

And, do not use fpcupdeluxe if you do not want to. As I said, the 
freedom is yours.
