There is a command-line installer on the ftp site for fpc, after that you
should build lazarus itself.
As it happens, I am currently writing an article on how to install lazarus on
Linux mint 17.3 from zero.
It does describe compiling lazarus.
I can send it to you when it is finished.
Thanks, please do!
I bit the bullet and did the following, hopefully it is not way off
like my experiments on a Raspberry Pi2 were:
1) Went to http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/linux-hungary.var
2) Downloaded the "everything" file
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/3.0.0/i386-linux/fpc-3.0.0.i386-linux.tar
3) Extracted its contents to the Download dir
4) Then I entered the directory and issued the command:
sudo sh install.sh
5) During installation I was asked to select target and entered
/usr/local as I was told in another case some time ago.
6) Then I just replied Y to most of the questions and it installed
apparently just fine.
At least it responds to my fpc -h command...
This is the way to go. You don't need my article :-)
Now I have to deal with Lazarus, but that is another list/forum...
That should be pretty straightforward as well.
Michael.
