Hi All!
I have been beating my head against the wall trying to get the latest
versions of fpc and lazarus installed on an almost plain vanilla
Raspberry Pi.
The reason I say "almost plain vanilla" is that I have setup TightVNC,
ftp, svn, etc. on a 16GB SD card loaded with raspbian-jessie. I have
this backed up on my laptop so I can restart from a usable configuration.
Up until now, I have fpc 2.9.4 and Lazarus 1.5 working on a NOOBS SD
Card (that is too small for what I need to do). That version of Lazarus
has a bug that has been fixed in 1.6 so I would like to get 1.6 or 1.7
working.
I am using an example tracked down from the FreePascal.org website. The
ultimate website is:
http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/raspberry-pi/install-lazarus-pascal-on-raspberry-pi-2/#getfpc
Going step-by-step from this site:
It says to install fpc 2.6.4 as the bootstrap compiler. Another place
says 3.0.0 is the
required bootstrap. I can't find 3.0.0 for Pi so here goes with 2.6.4.
# sudo su
# mkdir /usr/local/fpc
# cd /usr/local/fpc
# wget
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/2.6.4/fpc-2.6.4.arm-linux.tar
No, that version of the compiler doesn't know about EABIHF. I suggest
starting with the one I pointed you at the other day.
