Darwin is the target for MacOS X. Programs may also be run on a machine with only Darwin installed.
There are two ways of installation:
1) Download of the image file at ftp://ftp.de.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/powerpc-macosx-2.0.2/fpc-2.0.2.powerpc-macosx.dmg.
2) Use fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) (still at 2.0.0)
In addition, daily snapshots of the development powerpc and i386 versions of fpc 2.1.1 and lazarus are available at:
ftp://ftp.de.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/ (usage at own risk)
