Having issues getting cross compiling to work, so here's another idea:
What files would I need to move from Lazarus on my computer to the Pi, so
it will be able to find all of the libraries? Or perhaps even better, how
can I get the command Lazarus sends to FPC from my computer so I can issue
it on the Pi?
On a headless ARM system that hence can't run Lazarus, I completely did and
tested the application on a Linux PC, with everything that is not available
on the target (in that case among other stuff everything GUI related
including timers) in a "simulation" unit that provides Stimuli and Debug
outputs is appropriate classes. That can nicely be done in a completely
Object oriented way using Events (callbacks), properties and functions.
A (physically) headless system can run Lazarus etc. without any problems,
provided that you can login using X11 (XDMCP), VNC, or SSH. Obviously
appropriate underlying libraries are needed (gtk2 or whatever), but apart
from that the only caveat is that building Lazarus or programs of any
significant size tends to be memory-intensive- but generally within the scope
of an Rpi.
I use lazbuild succesfully on a machine without any X library installed.
Works perfectly for automated final builds of website software.
Michael.
