Target Darwin

Darwin is the target for MacOS X. Programs may also be run on a machine with only Darwin installed.

Installation:

1) Download of the image file at ftp://ftp.de.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/powerpc-macosx-2.0.2/fpc-2.0.2.powerpc-macosx.dmg.

2) Use fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) (still at 2.0.0)

In addition, daily snapshots of the development powerpc and i386 versions of fpc 2.1.1 and lazarus are available at (usage at own risk):

http://ftp.de.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/

Usage:

1) Editor (AlphaX, BBedit, ...) and commandline (fpc your_pascal_program.pas)

2) XCode

Recommended: Pascal extensions for XCode: http://www.freepascal.org/xcode.html

XCode 2.2.1 needs a newer revision of the integration kit. XCode 2.3 is also ongoing work.

3) DOS-like IDE

A description of how to get the IDE running is here: How to get the fpc ide running under Mac OS X

4) Lazarus

More:

• Mac OS Pascal universal interfaces are now part of the extra packages: packages/extra/univint

• IDE already works, except for some graphic glitches on the user output screen,
• gdb support?
  • the gdb can be executed from command line and works

• can mouse events be supported with Terminal.app and X11.app? how?
  • The mouse unit needs to be checked.
