I will answer myself: ---------------------- After a number of hours spent in vain to install in Raspbian Jessie I reverted to Raspbian Wheezy from May 5, 2015 and with that the tutorial linked to above works just fine! So the problems I had was caused by me using the wrong version of Raspbian! I now have Lazarus running with FPC 3.1.1 on my Raspberry Pi2B and I can access the desktop if need be using VNC. All so far seems to work fine (only made a small Hello world program to chack that it does work). The tutorial describes installing averything from sources downloaded using subversion, so I guess that means I now have the bleeding edge trunk version of both fpc and lazarus for ARM. :) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
