Things end badly using PiOS ...

You need FPC trunk on these newer systems.

Trying that now - thx

There's also a GTK Critical (with no real helpful info) that occurs when launching fpcupdeluxe. I think this is down to Wayland being the default WM for new PiOS as switching to X11 stops it occurring. That said I'm installing with Wayland enabled as that's what joe average will use

[peardox]

Here's the launch message under Wayland...

simon@raspberrypi:~/src/fpc $ ./fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-linux

(fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-linux:1911): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 08:16:41.569: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I've got the Pi connected to a HDMI Switch - swiching away from and back to the Pi makes FPCUpDeluxe show so presumably switching monitor off/on would have the same effect

VNC is extremely ropey ATM for new PiOS :(

I see this error was also discussed on fpc-pascal mailing list a few days too, thread "Cannot build fpc on Raspberry Pi4B running PiOS 64 bit (aarch64 Linux)", https://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-pascal/2023-November/061860.html .

I just tested and (this confirms Sven Barth's answer in that thread):

• Building FPC 3.2.2 (starting from FPC 3.2.2 installed using Debian packages) fails with above error

• Building latest FPC 3.2.3 (latest state of fixes_3_2 branch of FPC) works OK

• (I didn't test with FPC 3.3.1, I assume it would also work.)

Note that I didn't use fpcupdeluxe for this, instead my own super-minimal script to install FPC/Lazarus: https://github.com/castle-engine/cge-scripts/blob/master/install_fpc_lazarus .

So in case anyone else is struggling with this, trying 3.2.3 (fixes_3_2 branch) instead of 3.2.2 may be all you need :)

[peardox]

I installed 3.3.1 on the same system so know that works (although the Lazarus Debugger breaks) - via fpcupdeluxe
