Raspberry Pi2 error: co-processor offset out of range

[skerit]

During compiling I'm running into this error:

Any idea what's going wrong here?

looks like some bug in freepascal compiler. I heard fpc 3.0.0 being unusable on raspbian, but the current freepascal 3 with fixes from git & self-compiled is supposed to work fine.

Aha. I tried the raspberry pi install script from the Lazarus website, but then the configure command complained that fpc wasn't working.

Is the graemeg freepascal repository ok, or is there some kind of other fork with special fixes around?

[basisbit]

just the normal freepascal repository (ok, apparently not on github) should be ok. see http://www.freepascal.org/develop.var

That didn't help.

I ended up installing it on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop, which has freepascal 3 in its repositories. It compiled and played without a problem there.
