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.
With the caveat that you need to run Lazarus at least once to get the
paths etc. set up (i.e. settings stored in ~/.lazarus or as determined
by -pcp).
