[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#1072718: lazarus: Lazarus fails to compile itself

[Bas van Besouw]

Hi Peter, sorry if I did anything wrong.
However the way I see it is that: on a clean Debian system, Lazarus does NOT compile.. It does on my ARch and Fedora machines, so it is very Debian specific

All the best
Bas
