Just to check the "standard way of doing it" in case there's any 
surprises, with FPC 3.0.2 installed:

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_1_8_0_RC1
cd lazarus_1_8_0_RC1
make

That worked as expected.

make clean bigide

That also worked, except that there was a message about 
EditorMacroScript at startup. A purist woult probably object that the 
binary hadn't been added to the desktop environment's menu.

That's an up-to-date "full" Raspbian (i.e. not "lite").
