I guess you mean Raspbian Buster then?<br>
<br>
I have FPC/Lazarus on several of my RPi units ranging from RPi2B via<br>
RPi3B to RPi4B.<br>
<br>
I have had no problems installing release versions FPC 3.0.4 + Lazarus<br>
2.0.6 from sources obtained by SVN checkout.<br>
I am using an old and trusted install script I wrote several years ago<br>
and it "just works" to get the basic stuff installed.<br>
<br>
It does so to /home/pi/dev/... in order to not mess with anything in<br>
/usr/... etc.<br>
<br>
Also I use pcp directories for every install I have, right now 2.0.2,<br>
2.0.4 and 2.0.6 on my latest RPi4B.<br>
<br>
Concerning the small screen:<br>
I run my systems via VNC from my big screen Windows PC and the only<br>
glitch I have had so far is that the Lazarus IDE may suddenly crash<br>
unexpectedly.<br>
But this has not happened once since I installed AutoSave in Lazarus<br>
via OnLine Package Manager, so this is for sure something I recommend<br>
using (plus of course subversion for project sources).<br>
