This is what I did suppose.

Unfortunately the Linux distribution does not not support Debian 
(apt-get) packages, but only QNS ".qpkg" and Optware ".ipkg" packages. 
I'll take a look if something like "X-lib" and "gtk2" is provided by 
Optware. I already have been able to install fpc by manually  
downloading, extracting and "distributing" the Debian fpc package. But 
with the count of packages you list in your message, this does not make 
much sense. Especially it might be very tedious to find out all the 
dependencies.

I did not yet try to cross-compile anything, but I happily did install fpc.

I don't know. This in fact is what I initially suggested (as I do 
similar "embedded" remote-gdb debugging using a Target PCB connected via 
a JTAG adapter and Eclipse on the PC), but in fact remote gdb does not 
seem not to be very "officially" supported by Lazarus.

Not if the target project does not have a GUI. (This in fact is what I 
intend to do.)

Thanks a lot,
