Thanks. I’ll try that next weekend 
Also you could try official Debian packages (fpc, fpc-source, lazarus-ide, note that names differ from upstream) from Stretch or Jessie with backports. There are serious issues with packaging of Lazarus (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823706), but I probably worked them around already.
P.S. Makefile is pretty much trivial, all you actually need to do to build is one command
lazbuild 3rd_party/opengl/vcmiopenglcontext.lpk vcmieditor.lprThat’s exactly the command that failed. Probably because of missing lazbuild
Now:
Hint: (lazarus) Missing state file of LCL 1.6.2: /home/siegfried/.lazarus/lib/units/x86_64-linux/gtk2/LCL.compiled

Makefile:4: die Regel für Ziel „vcmieditor“ scheiterte
make: *** [vcmieditor] Fehler 2
fehlende ausführbare Datei -> missing executable file
So what file is missing here? It seems there is an empty file name.
Looks like lazbuild could not find compiler executable.
Could you manually execute f.e. /usr/bin/fpc "-iWTOTP"
Hi,
no. Obviously because there is no such executable in /usr/bin. But there seems to be one in /usr/lib. Would it help to add a soft link?
Soft link could help
You’re extremely fast
I tried, but got some strange results. I do not get a file named fpc, but a file named “3.0.0” ???
I check this and report later.
- /usr/lib/fpc is no file, but a directory. Contains an ini and something more.
I’m just installing it again. In case something went wrong.
You should have /usr/bin/fpc simlink to /usr/bin/fpc-3.0.0 (or whatever version you have) executable
I installed new, and now make completes. Although there seem to be some issue:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: /home/siegfried/prj/vcmi/editor/vcmi_editor-master/bin/link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?
(1008) 46004 lines compiled, 4.8 sec
(1021) 10 warning(s) issued
(1023) 7 note(s) issued
Where i am supposed to find the executable?
It is known bug with some fpc versions and some binutils versions, but it mostly harmless.
Executable should be in ./bin subdirectory of repo checkout
Yup, found. Tried. Error is: “Filesystem configuration not found”.
I’m not sure about the error message, but according to your other posts, the executable has to be copied into some vcmi directory. Not what directory? Ist it $HOME/.local/vcmi? Or is it /usr/games (where the vcmi executables are), or is it /usr/share/vcmi (where the system-wide configurations reside)?
Short pause (lunch time). I report later.
You need to create gamepath.txt alongside editor executable with paths to VCMI data files
/usr/share/vcmi
/home/siegfried/.local/vcmi
Not sure that $HOME substitution will work
(On windows all VCMI files are in same place so you can just copy editor there, but I still recommend use gamepath.txt in all release notes, see https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi_editor/releases)
One day I make default paths configuration on Linux work.
Well, that did not help. I created the file gamepath.txt in the directory where the executable resides. I tried launching from GUI, and i tried launching from console after changing to that directory. Still the same error.
The file is accessible (i can cat it), so that should not be the problem. And i used full path without $HOME. Just as you suggested.
Here is the trace:

Trace is somewhat useless, this trace is of the heap, I do not care about memory leaks on fatal crash. (But if you get Heap dump by heaptrc unit with unfreed memory blocks in normal situation please report)
could you post directory listings of paths in gamepath.txt? Also what is in VCMI_Editor.log?

I made the “install” directory in $HOME/.local/share/vcmi manually to copy all vcmi related downloads there before installing
P.S. Unfortunately i will not have much more time now. I hope we can continue next weekend. For now i have only a few minutes left. During the week i will have no time for vcmi 
There is no VCMI_Editor.log
Is /usr/share/vcmi/config/filesystem.json present?
Yes.
I’m checking the file. Maybe some issue with lower/upper case?
Lower/upper case looks OK
