Lazarus 1.6 - Raspberry Pi 3 - TMS Hardware Components installed.(Working)

To install Lazarus I used a install script from here (Bo Berglund , Developer in Sweden )

TMS LCL HW Pack for Raspberry Pi :

https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/tmslclhwpack.asp

So far so good . Everything ran the first time. I messed the following message during the install:
========================================================
echo "You will need to point the IDE to the FPC source code when it starts"
echo "Browse to /usr/fpc/$FPCVER and the IDE should now say "OK" for the FPC source code"
========================================================
however, with a little digging around I located the folder.

I haven't tested much yet but So far so good. :) On start up It loads really fast and compiling is fine considering the HW.

It will be fun to communicate with the Propeller Chip once I figure out how LOL

    http://wiki.freepascal.org/Synapse has been doing the serial and TCP/IP work for my Pi<->Prop related comms very nicely. That script makes things a bit less confusing than the usual FPC procedure.

    Is this a Raspberry Pi forum now?

    I don't mind so much, except Pascal should be banned.

    Much like node.js? :-) I will gladly admit that your messages in reference to it have led me to use it, quite happily, when it's strengths are appreciated. Thank you!

    Ah sorry. Pascal is OK.

    It's just that we have a big pile of Pascal at work and for some reason I get grumpy when ever I have to work on it. Which was the case yesterday.

    At least the Free Pascal compiler is blazing fast compared to GCC.
