I am probably ways off now with the installation I did from the
tutorial.
How to rectify?
1) Remove the already compiled version
How could I do that? It seems to exist in a this directory:
/usr/local/share/lazarus
which is listed as follows:
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root  4096 Oct 10 14:27 lazarus

When I did the build the checkout from svn went to:
/usr/local/lazarus/source

Then the following commands were executed inside that directory:
make all OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF
make install OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PREFIX=/usr/local

And then the tutorial had this:
Remove sources:
---------------
cd /usr/local
rm -rf /usr/local/lazarus

2) Check out anew into the pi home directory:
cd ~/development
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus

3) Build lazarus.
How do I do this in the circumstances mentioned above?
Is this the way or does one use another command?

cd ~/development/lazarus
make all
or
make all OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF

In any case, where does the compiled program wind up?
(So I can start it?)

Or do I also run the second command:
make install OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PREFIX=/usr/local

Sorry to be a nuisance, but I really want to get this right...
