For those that asked, I don't remember the exact error messages, but they all started with "Skipping incompatible" files of one sort or another.
rvk is correct in that I am using the PC version of the Raspberry Pi Desktop found here
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-desktop/I did try it and using the i386 version of fpc did work to compile the lazarus source without a problem.
For anyone that is having the same problems as I did and want to know how I installed fpc-3.2-0 and Lazarus 2.0.10 on both types of hardware, here are my quick and simple notes that I saved for next time I need to do this. There may be better ways to do this, but this worked for me and was very simple to do.
download
for Pi hardware
fpc-3.2.0.arm-linux.tar
For Pi Desktop (PC version)
fpc-3.2.0.i386-linux
note: do not use the x86_64 version
for both systems
fpc-3.2.0.source.tar.gz
lazarus-2.0.10-2.tar.gz
***** Free Pascal compiler install *******
un-compress both fpc compiler and source tar files into a directory.
run install.sh from fpc directory and answer questions.
add path to /home/pi/.profile (hidden file)
PATH="$HOME/[path to fpc folder]/bin:$PATH"
*********** restart pc to update path *****************
**Lazarus install
for PI hardware only - increase swapfile size.
edit /etc/dphys-swapfile with root and change "CONF_SWAPSIZE=100" to "CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024"
un-compress lazarus tar file into a directory.
install dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install gdb libx11-dev libgtk2.0-dev
from lazarus folder
make clean
make bigide
if using fcpupdeluxe to install fpc and lazarus,
use fpcupdeluxe-i386-linux, not the x86-64 version
