The mouse does not work in revision version 2.0.4. From version 2.1.2 revision 6226 and possibly up the mouse works. Mandatory Requirements:
Apple developer tools (read XCode) and X11
The freepascal ide you need: compiler, rtl, (maybe base packages, fcl and extra packages. note: fcl has been moved into packages in version 2.1.2 revision 6655), fvision (i.e. fv) and ide. compile fv: cd fv make clean all compile the ide (there is no debugger library, just neglect the resulting warning): cd ide make clean all You may use fink (http://www.finkproject.org/) for the installation of freepascal. The package fpc installs all you need including the fv units and the ide.
Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 and 64 bit professional Pascal compiler. It is available for different processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x86 64, PowerPC, Sparc. Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 and 64 bit professional Pascal compiler. It is available for different processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x8664, PowerPC, Sparc. The following operating systems are supported: Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X/Darwin, Mac OS classic, DOS, Win32, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic) and MorphOS.
Optional Requirements: due to recent updates the next two steps (installing the vga font and make it accessible in xterm) are not mandatory any longer to get at least a partially working IDE, and consequently may be skipped. You will miss the nice fpc background, for example. (;-)
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.
To install them manually, open Xcode, go to Preferences, select 'Downloads;' and install the 'Command Line Tools'. Afterwards, FPC will install and function correctly. Xcode 3.2.x-4.2 compatibility (Mac OS X 10.6) FPC 3.0.2 is qualified for use with Mac OS X 10.4 till OS X 10.11, and with macOS 10.12 and 10.13.
Free Pascal Review. Free Pascal is a 32 and 64 bit compiler for various operating systems and process architectures, for models like Intel x86, Amd64/x8664, PowerPC or Sparc. Its compatible with the language supports of Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0 and Delphi 7, although it does implement better improvements for these, like the operator over boarding.
Starting the IDE:
Download Free Pascal For Mac Os X 10.13
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. For easier use you may install freepascal and the ide: cd your_path/fpc sudo make install sudo make -C fv install sudo make -C ide install
Download Free Pascal For Mac Os X 10.10
