Donald, if all you want is a minimal FPC 3.0.0 for the Pi, I suggest
you use my minimal installers from http://www.getlazarus.org
The minimal version weights in at 40MB and includes the compiler, a
few tools like the console "fp" ide, and the rtl (no fcl, no lcl). I
also includes a fpc terminal shortcut which opens you default terminal
with fpc envirnonemt variables and configuration setup. It will not
interfere any other existing FPC or Lazarus setup. It also makes for a
good starting point to make the FPC compiler from sources:
Minimal Pi PFC 3.0.0:
http://cache.getlazarus.org/archives/fpc-3.0.0.raspberry-min.tar.gz
If on the other hand you want to run a newer version of Lazarus with
FPC 3.0.0 on the Pi, I also have a bundle for that. It's also quite
small (I know SD card space on the Pi is a concern) at under 200MB for
FPC 3.0.0 plus Lazarus. The FPC in this bundle comes with rtl, fcl,
and a few other packages (again some have been removed), and the
Lazarus version has had the graphic image sources, and tool sources
removed (though tool binaries are included).
This reduced in size and Pi specific FPC 3.0.0 with Lazarus can be
installed from here:

Final note:
I know many Pi users are concerned about the SD storage space required
by FPC and Lazarus and I've taken some care to reduce their sizes on
Pi, but please be aware more SD space will be used and is required
when compiling with Lazarus. The first time you build with Lazarus it
will require space to store the lcl compiled units (two hundred plus
megabytes more), and any lcl programs you write and compile can take
upwards of 20-30MB each. If you want to keep some of your compiled
programs around, consider using the "strip -s yourprogram" utility to
reduce their size after you're done developing a program. The storage
saving will be significant.

Hi again Anthony,
I used your tiny version on my original SD card and it works fine, but I
need the full-up debugging version on the big SD card. With the
additional 8 GB I don't think I'll have space problems. If I do, I'll
remove Python and Mathematica like I did on the original SD card. That
freed up a lot of space.
Thanks,
Don
