[Lazarus] Failed to build lazarus release 1.4.4 from svn

[Bo Berglund]

I tried to compile the latest release of Lazarus (1.4.4) on my
Raspberry Pi2 under Raspbian Jessie. I want to do this in order to get
a stable IDE rather than the trunk version I have tried so far.

But I received errors while doing make bigide...

Here is what I have done:

1) I have downloaded fpc 2.6.4 for ARM using this command in
/usr/local/fpc:
wget
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/2.6.4/fpc-2.6.4.arm-linux.tar

Then I unpacked it using:
tar xvf fpc-2.6.4.arm-linux.tar

2) I have created a symlink to the 2.6.4 compiler with this command:
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.1.1/ppcarm /usr/local/bin/ppcarm

3) I created a directory lazarus in the pi home dir and inside that I
checked out the sources:
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_1_4_4 1.4.4

4) Then inside the 1.4.4 dir I issued:
time make bigide

The response when it quit was:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: ./link.res contains output sections; did you
forget -T?

It seems like I am missing something important here, but what?
I have set the ppcarm symlink to point to the current release version
of FPC and I have checked out a clean version of lazarus sources and
started make from within these sources.

Shouldn't it then just build successfully?
Or is there a different make command one should issue to build Lazarus
IDE from the release sources?
