I know this sounds silly, but check fpcres is on the path. My experience 
it that for Lazarus it's the only program that's needed apart from fpc 
and ppcarm etc.

Apart from that... on Raspbian Jessie some projects work and others 
don't. The one I've got here where I can see a problem also fails on 
1.4.4+3.0.0, I think the problem might be when a .lfm is outside the 
normal project directory.

I'm about to take a look at other platforms.
