All it takes is a bit of practice with the installation.

Alternatively, use CodeTyphon
[http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/codetyphon]. CodeTyphon is
a repackaged FPC & Lazarus with lots of cross-compiling options all
built-in, plus every component you could ever wish for. It is like the
"Studio version" of Lazarus. :) Quite impressive actually.

You could also debug using a debugserver and the dbugintf unit included
with FPC. Making it communicate over TCP shouldn't be too hard, and is
on my todo list. FPC includes a rudimentary console debug server, and
LCL and fpGUI versions also exist, which are much better.
