Hi Anthony,

I just tried to use the new Lazarus for Raspberry PI and ran into two 
problems trying to add components from a four-year-old library (that has 
been working on Linux for that time and on Raspbian up to Lazarus 1.4).

This version of fpc/lazarus does not have the RegExpr package so one of 
my components failed to compile.  I removed it from the package and 
started over (I don't need it for the app on the PI so for now this is 
not a major issue.  I do need it on Linux so now I am hesitant to 
upgrade my main development machine.).

The big problem occurred when rebuilding lazarus to install the new 
components:

Build IDE Exit Code 512 Errors 4
Panic *** make No rule to make 'idepkg'  Stop.

remaining errors are leaving directory and make terminated.

Is there a work-around for this (besides returning to 1.4)?  I need 
several of the components in this library.

Thanks,

Don Ziesig
