Requirements:
under construction!
1) Apple developer tools and X11
2) fpc: compiler, rtl, (maybe base packages, fcl and extra packages), fvision and ide.
after the compilation of fvision, create an alias (symlink) of the directory fvision named fv in the fpc directory.
ln -s fvision fv
then compile the ide (there is no debugger library, just neglect the resulting warning)
cd ide make clean all
3) vga font for xterm.
download the vga font here: http://home.earthlink.net/~us5zahns/enl/vga.pcf
for more docs on changing the Xterm font look here: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x606.html
copy the font to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
mv your_download_dir/vga.pcf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
check and set file permissions (you have to be root to do this):
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ chown root:wheel vga.pcf; chmod 444 vga.pcf
start an xterm in X11 and do:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ mkfontdir xset fp rehash
Now you should be able to start xterm with the vga font by:
xterm -font vga
It is useful to define this as a customized command in X11 (Menu Applications -> Customize...)
4) You are now ready to start the ide in an xterm:
cd your_path/fpc/ide ./fp
In order to get Alt-x you have to press ESC and x.
Here is an example image:
