I see.
I'll ask my colleague who said that Lazarus would "run" on his RPi if he
in fact used the debugger.
Sven is trying to make the point that the fp IDE and Lazarus use the
debugger completely differently: fp (as I've said at least twice) uses
libgdb which doesn't (to the best of my knowledge) run on ARM, Lazarus
talks to standard gdb.
From your mail it seems less likely that the fp can use the debugger
that that Lazarus can :-( , as a working command line gdb comes with gcc
and its availability should be rather "standard".
Lazarus is OK with the GDB on all platforms I've tested including ARM,
except that getting down to the register level can be a bit problematic
on some systems: Martin's rather chasing a moving target.
