It's pretty good, but knowing that DoDi is another "old hand" and allowing for the old versions etc. I'd work from the FTP etc. sites i.e. https://www.freepascal.org/down/source/sources.html https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Zip%20_%20GZip/

Git(lab). If you still have an old config in ~/.lazarus backup/move away first. Just in case. Then run "make bigide" in the lazarus source directory.
Note: that your starting compiler (3.0.4) is still very old (3.2.0 is from may/june 2020),
note2: Your cut-out doesn't show the actual errors, just the aftermath.
TRon:
Is it even known which versions of FPC work in conjunction with LCL v0.8.5.2 ? (the Lazarus release thread on the forum doesn't even go back that far)

I seem to be too stupid for using Lazarus on Linux. No chance to install it on my MintFX system, regardless of which method I try. Back to Win8, Lazarus installed without problems :-)
In my first (docking) example I encounter the same problem as in the previous (XP) installation, a NIL pointer reference in Themes on program shutdown. In addition dragged windows seem to disappear in a black hole when docked.
Now I wonder how to use git with Lazarus. Should I clone the repository or can I make the current installation work with git?
After a couple of tries it looks like I have a normally installed Lazarus and a git version. Now I can start fixing the docking bugs.

Now I tried to install Lazarus on MintFX from gitlab repository. Make fails with
<pre>Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.4+dfsg-18ubuntu2 [2018/08/29] for x86_64

What's wrong?

My instructions were quite clear, I said if your disro has FPC322, use it. Implied but not clearly stated, I guess, if your distro has a quite old version of FPC, don't use it. Sigh ...
Remove the distro supplied FPC and install the ones from the Lazarus binary repository. Then try again.
Again, I suggest you read the wiki page on the subject, pointed to previously.
I also suggest you consider upgrading your Linux install. But most of all, read the wiki page, PLEASE !
