Today I tried installing Lazarus on my Raspberry Pi (running Raspbian) and followed the instructions from the Lazarus Wiki. Unfortunately, I ran into an error message about dependecy issues.
The following packages have unmet dependencies: fpc : Depends: fpc-2.6.0 (= 2.6.0-9+rpi1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I had no clue what the problem was but with a trick, by adding an apt-get source, I managed to get the install to work.
So for those wanting to install Lazarus Pascal on their Raspberry Pi running Raspbian (or something a-like), follow these steps:
First add the following line at the end of "/etc/apt/sources.list" (you can use: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list):
deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/wsf wheezy-wsf main
Next follow the Wiki install instructions:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fpc
sudo apt-get install lazarus
And you should be good to go ...
For those who need Lazarus on their Raspberry Pi 2, please read the extensive article I wrote on that topic ...
