Hello. I just discovered Lazarus and Free Pascal. I have been looking for options to move away from REALbasic, and as a former Turbo Pascal devotee, I am very excited about this possibility. Have been trying Python, but am getting bogged down in deployment issues.
I know this is an old thread, but it seems to describe my problems. Apparently it is resolved, but I can't follow the fix. I am trying to get up and running on OS X 10.6.3 Intel. I had previously installed OS X Developers Tools, including XCode 3.2.2.
First I installed lazarus-0.9.28.2-i386-macosx + fpc-2.4.0.intel-macosx. This seemed to be a problem because Lazarus could not find fpcsrc. But I could not find a fpcsrc-2.4.0 file to download. So I uninstalled both.
Next I installed fpc-2.2.4.intel-macosx + fpcsrc-2.2.4-intel-macosx + lazarus-0.9.28.2-i386-macosx, and it ran and compiled, failing at the 'debugger oops'.
I did not understand the SVN discussion very well, and could not find the mentioned fixed release on the web, could someone clarify the steps I need to take to fix the debugger bug? Also, if I upgrade to 2.4.0, how do I get the source fpcsrc that Lazarus seems to need?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Frederick
