Free Pascal Text Mode IDE for macOS

Also out of curiosity. I work in Lazarus normally.

I found a fp executable in this folder:
Macintosh HD > usr > local > bin >

The fp executable is from 2018, whereas the Lazarus+FPC is from 2023, which is the last time I installed an 'official' release.
Usually I install from FPCUpDeluxe, in different folders, but in these there is no fp executable

I recently deleted any trace of the old FPC installation from /usr/local/bin since it was causing problems with Lazarus 4.0rc1 :o

I've just checked on https://www.freepascal.org/download.html and the link to old releases just gives a 404 :(

@JdeHaan, any chance of uploading the fp executable here, on the off-chance that it doesn't have any dependencies 😉

JdeHaan:
The file is bigger than 500K, so that doesn't work.
But I put the file on Github for you to copy:

That's great, thanks 🙏🏽. I see what you mean about the lack of mouse-response! You can access the menu options by pressing Option + The letter highlighted in red. But, even going into Options --> Environment -> Keyboard & Mouse doesn't seem to offer any likely fix.

Also, the default colour scheme is sub-optimal, if I'm being honest  ;)

This is a shame because fp has enough about it to be a useful alternative  🤔

The text mode IDE is not considered supported on macOS due to issues with the terminal.
