Installation
Apple Developer Tools
You need the Apple Developer tools. They are included on the original OSX installation CDs, or download at ADC (free registration required):
Install Packages / Released version
Download and install the three packages FPC, FPCSrc and Lazarus in this order: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339
This is the easiest way to install Lazarus on Mac OS X. To get the current development version see below.
Install from Source
You need the latest stable released FPC installed in order to compile the development version.
Download and install the FPC package: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339
There are two development versions of the compiler: 2.2.x is stable version without new features - only bug fixes. And the unstable 2.3.x with lots of new features and bugs. The 2.2.0 version has a bug and can not be used to compile the 2.2.3 nor 2.3.1. You must download and install the 2.2.2. Some daily snapshots can be found here
Free Pascal Compile
- Free Pascal Compiler
Then download and install the Free Pascal Compiler (at least 2.2.0) from:
For Lazarus you need the FPC sources as well:
- 10.5 already installs svn. Users of earlier versions must install SVN for Mac OS X: A good package is provided by Martin Ott. You can also use fink. SVN clients with GUI (graphical user interface) are available from Versiontracker.
Create a directory, where you would like to put the sources. You don't need to be root to do this. Any normal user can do this. First create a directory for fpc
- (e.g. /Users/username/freepascal)
then open a terminal and do the following:
[]$ svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
This will create a directories called 'fpc', which can be later used in the IDE. Hint: To download/update the latest changes you can simply do
[]$ cd /Users/username/freepascal/fpc []$ svn up
How to update fpc and Lazarus to the newest version
For 10.2 to 10.4
Install SVN for Mac OS X: A good package is provided by Martin Ott.
10.5 users don't need that because it already installs subversion by default via the XCodeTools package.
- To use the development version of lazarus see Installing_Lazarus#Downloading_Lazarus_SVN
