fpcmake doesn't work out of the box in Debian (maybe since the multiarch
changes, but I am not sure about that). E.g. in the Lazarus source tree I get this:
paul at testavoira ~/lazarus $ fpcmake -r -v
FPCMake Version 2.0.0 [2017-02-13 rev 35434]
Processing Makefile.fpc
 Targets: "x86_64-linux"
 Globals:
    FPCDIR = ""
    PACKAGESDIR = "$(FPCDIR)/packages $(FPCDIR)/packages/base $(FPCDIR)/packages/extra $(FPCDIR)/packages"
    UNITSDIR = "$(FPCDIR)/units/$(FULLTARGET)"
    BASEDIR = "/home/paul/packages/freepascal/lazarus"
 Required packages for linux-x86_64: rtl regexpr
 Package "rtl": Looking for Makefile.fpc: " /packages/rtl/Makefile.fpc /packages/base/rtl/Makefile.fpc /packages/extra/rtl/Makefile.fpc /packages/rtl/Makefile.fpc "
 Package "rtl": Looking for Package.fpc: " /units/x86_64-linux/rtl/Package.fpc "
Error: Target "linux", package "rtl" not found

Lazarus is defining FPCDIR in its d/rules file to prevent this like:
FPCDIR=/usr/share/fpcsrc/${FPCVER}

Transgui is/was doing it like:
FPCDIR=/usr/lib/fpc/${FPCDIR}

I believe neither should be needed. Also, which one of the two is correct (or
better, if neither is really correct)?

Paul
