AFAIK, the current build is based on Debian Wheezy.
I've tried downloading the svn version, and there's some problem with
libgdb.a, I can't even get FPC to build, let alone Lazarus. There are
YARDS of undefined globals. I finally got an answer from someone on the
FPC list (after just being told "fix your GDB") and I'm trying to work
my way through that at the moment.
Granted that not all messages get through our gateway, but is that the
thread from October last year? I only ask because your recounting of
that advice does sound somewhat... brutal.
I fairly regularly build both FPC trunk and the current release on
multiple platforms (but markedly /not/ on x86-64) and in many cases drop
libgdb from FPC since it's only required for the fp IDE. Looking at your
list of undefineds, I think the right question would have been "how can
I build a vanilla libgdb that doesn't require a whole lot of Python
libraries etc."- and I'm afraid that's one for the gdb developers rather
than us.
