How to config lazarus for arm processors(Neofreerunner- openmoko)?

[Amir61]

Hi,

I have a newfreerunner smartphone and I want to try to develop some application for it. I have searched throught fpc-pascal mailing list and this forum but still I can't figure out how to make it work. I am using lazarus under Linux.

In fact, I couldn't find any rpm for the arm cross compiler. Although, I tried to install fpc-2.2.2.arm-linux.tar based on http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Setup_Cross_Compile_For_ARM (which is out of date-- the links in that page do not work anymore). I created an empty project and set the compiler options/code/Target Platform appropriately. When I tried to compile the project, Lazarus tries to run the following command:
[TCompiler.Compile] CmdLine="/usr/bin/fpc  -MObjFPC -Sgi -O1 -Parm -gl -WG -vewnhi -l -Fi/ -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/arm-linux/ -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/arm-linux/gtk/ -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/packager/units/arm-linux/ -Fu. -dLCL -dLCLgtk /tmp/project1.lpr"

and I get the following error:
Error: ppcarm can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "ppcarm", error code: 127

When I try to run the ppcarm directly from terminal, I get "bash: /usr/bin/ppcarm: cannot execute binary file" error.

Did you installed before a copy of lazarus?. You must install lazarus first, the version that fits for your system (linux, windows, macos), and then install cross-compiler package.

In the first step, I installed the cross compiler fpc-2.2.2.arm-linux.tar.
Then, when I tried to run fpc I got an error like following:
bash: /usr/bin/fpc: cannot execute binary file

So, I tried to reinstall the fpc and fpc-src and lazarus using yum.
