svn, .dmg, fink all fail on my MacOSX (10.5.4)

[adsjones]

I am running on an intel Mac OS X (10.5.4) (Darwin) and have been trying to install Lazarus for 6 days with no success.

1) I downloaded fpc-2.2.0-i386-macosx.dmg, fpcsrc-2.2.0-i386-macosx..dmg & lazarus-0.9.24-i386-macosx.dmg, Then in that order  I installed them. The mac stated that they were successfully installed. But in fact this is not true! There are no .app files generated for fpc nor lazarus.

2) I tried the manual install "svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk lazarus" etc. Unfortunately due to a lack of stating which directory you should be in before running some commands nothing useful was created. (e.g. after issuing the command "svn up" which directory should you be in to continue? By trial and error I remedied this. After "svn up" there should be a "cd .."

3) fink was the only way that I could get fpc installed properly. BUT there is no Lazarus in the list.

Please advise me of how to get Lazars installed on my Mac Book Pro

Thank you in advance

You have to use Lazarus snapshots (at http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/) and FPC version 2.2.2 (at the same place).

1) I downloaded fpc-2.2.0-i386-macosx.dmg, fpcsrc-2.2.0-i386-macosx..dmg

Where did you download fpc 2.2.0 from? All of its downloads have been removed from the freepascal.org server and its mirrors.

Hi Jonas,

The fpc 2.2.0 is still on the Lazarus SourceForge page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339&package_id=252481
