How to enable Lazarus to compile to Android?

Question

I did not used Lazarus for almost two years. I installed version 1.0.10 and found Android as an option for Target OS and I decided to test with ARM as the CPU family, all that in the Options window.

But when I exit the Options window I receive a message that says fpc.exe is not compaticle with android-arm

Then I decided to test with other CPU families but nothing.

Is it really functional or it's there just as a promise?

Answer 1

There is functionality, but it requires a development version of Free Pascal, and is not end user ready/packaged.
