Extract the tar you downloaded and execute the install script located there. Anything else leaves the approach I have tested and confirmed to work for you. For a successful compilation a *complete* release is necessary anyway (well, you can deselect the documentation and demoes during the installation :P).

Here I lost you, is SF still in use? I thought that everything moved to GitLab
some time ago?
And is there something like "install" in Linux apart from apt install which is
what I used?

I might have this wrong, but in that case I have been for many (10+) years...
I always put my sources in a place like $HOME/devtools/fpc/x.y.z and
$HOME/devtools/lazarus/x.y.z
And I use make install pointing to a place below $HOME as well...
When installing from sources you have a hen-and-egg problem since you need a
seed compiler on the pristine target system.
Usually I have been using a compiler from an earlier build on a similar system
but in this case I did not have one for 64 bit Pi-OS. First time on 64 bit.
So I tried using fpcupdeluxe instead with the results shown.
But then I checked if I could get the compiler via apt and that did succeed and
I could use it to build Lazarus itself.
And Lazarus works with this compiler on the target system.
Now I figured I had a seed compiler so I should be able to build a new fpc
compiler from sources using the commands I had always used in the past, but this
is where it went astray as shown.
I did not know that there is a library of seed compilers available on
Sourceforge, I thought everything had moved over to GitLab nowadays, so where
exactly can I find a binary download for PiOS 64 bit on SF?
Where I have looked I only find old stuff like from 2021...
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/3.2.2/
Here are tarballs that by the size seem to contain a lot of stuff apart from the
compiler itself.

Why don't you simply follow what I DID? First of deinstall that apt fpc
again. Then download 3.2.2 for aarch64-linux from SourceForge, install it
and add /path/to/where/you/installed/fpc/bin to your PATH (using "export
PATH=/new/path:$PATH").
Best pick in an installation path like /wherever/fpc/ and select
"yes" when asked whether to adjust the fpc.cfg with $fpcversion, that will
come in handy later.
Next download the sources for 3.2.3 and extract them somewhere different
than "/wherever/fpc". Change into that directory and execute the commands
as I had written in my previous mail (you should be in the same command
line session where you adjusted PATH for this to work otherwise you need to
set it again). The INSTALL_PREFIX should be "/wherever/fpc/3.2.3".
Next set your PATH again, but this time use the directory for 3.2.3 ("echo
$PATH" plus selecting and pasting is your friend here, cause you don't want
to *extend* your path, but replace it; or simply start a new console
windows and append the path there now that I think about it ).
Now you should have a working FPC and you can compile Lazarus from source
(sorry, don't know how to setup fpcupdeluxe to use an existing compiler,
cause I don't use it).
In Lazarus you then also need to set the path to your compiler.

Sven

On a Raspberry OS 10 64-bit I downloaded FPC 3.2.2 for aarch64-linux from SourceForge as well as the sources of both 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 from GitLab. I install 3.2.2, setup PATH to find the compiler and simply do the following for each 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 (in their corresponding source directories): make all FPMAKEOPT="-T 4" -j 4 make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/for/fpc/ - j 4 cd /path/for/fpc//bin ln -s .. /lib/fpc//ppca64 ppca64 (the -T and -j are simply for parallel compilation) Both 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 (don't forget to set PATH correctly!) can successfully compile a hello world program that links against the C library (in my case by using the cthreads unit) while 3.2.2 can not (as expected).
