I updated my web site with an installer package which contains the
missing pieces for integration of Free Pascal into Xcode. Besides that,
you will find also a little tutorial on how to produce specifications
and project templates for Xcode.
New in this update is a Pascal Carbon Application Project template, and
the Pascal Tool and Pascal CGI templates were polished up.
The installer will place all templates and specifications to the
correct locations and will automatically patch a copy of Apples
Universal PInterfaces (which must be downloaded separately from Apple)
for use with Free Pascal.
In addition, most GDB problems were sorted out and appropriate .gdbinit
files are placed into the templates. However, one GDB issue is left.
There is a limitation of fpc caused by its design for case sensitive
file systems. Because of this, source level debugging in Xcode is only
possible if the Pascal source file names are all lower case.
In order to build Carbon applications you will need the latest FPC
1.9.5 from CVS. The installer package produced with the snapshot of FPC
1.9.5 from 15th August 2004 contains a bug which prevents linking
against Apples Carbon Framework. Anyway, you will need this snapshot,
at least for bootstrapping newer versions of Free Pascal from CVS:
Once you checked out fpc from CVS and installed the FPC 1.9.5
[2004-8-15 snapshot], bootstrapping of the latest CVS version is simply
done with the following commands in Terminal:
cd fpc
make all
sudo make install
CVS updates for Free Pascal can then be obtained by issuing following
commands in Terminal:
cd fpc
make clean
cvs -z 3 update -Pd
make all
make clean
Enjoy!
