Revision as of 14:12, 16 September 2005
Requirements:
- Apple developer tools (read XCode) and X11
- compile the fpc ide
you need: compiler, rtl, (maybe base packages, fcl and extra packages), fvision and ide.
compile the ide (there is no debugger library, just neglect the resulting warning)
cd ide
make clean all - install the 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 -r
It is useful to define this as a customized command in X11 (Menu Applications -> Customize...) - set the terminal type to linux
export TERM=linux
or start xterm with
xterm -font vga -r -tn linux
Without this, you may get funny characters at the position of box borders and other, similar places.
You may add this command to your bash startup file. The bash shell of xterm of X11 reads the .bashrc file in your $HOME directory and not .bash_profile. For more information on this topic read the man pages of bash or search for X11 and bash on http://www.macosxhints.com.
For more on fonts, terminals, 8bit characters, ESC codes read Terminal & Fonts. - 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 should be an example screen shot:
