Check the "Compiler path" in Environment->Environment Options. It  
should read something like /usr/local/bin/ppc386

Re: Installing on Mac OS X

 /usr/local/bin/ppc386
it'wasn't listed in the dropdown box.
I closed Lazarus (still open from yesterday) and now I can't find lazarus 
anymore.
I understood that I have to add the directories manually in a console 
application or terminal, a return to the DOS age.
I need to get a book using OS X first, because this leads to nowhere.
It won't be before weekend though.
Anyway, while Lazarus was open, I saw bugs in the editor: the last character 
of each line was written over the previous character.
Form = class(TFor) instead of Form=class(TForm)
en; instead of end;
Looks like a bug ..

You should not compare DOS and a Terminal :)

You can type it in. I don't know what exactly is listed in the default  
dropdown menu and why.

Type cmd-shift-g in the Finder. In the dialog box that appears, type / 
usr/local/share/lazarus. You'll find the application there. You can  
create an alias to it (shortcut in Windows terms) by holding down cmd  
and option (= cmd and alt) and dragging the Lazarus application icon  
anywhere you want. Then you won't have to remember its installation  
location anymore when you want to use it again.

No, you don't, except if you want to the command line stuff. And DOS  
was actually a partial imitation of Unix, not the other way around.

As I said, it won't help you in particular with these issues, because  
Lazarus is not behaving like an OS X app at this time.

Re: Installing on Mac OS X

Ok Jonas,

that solved at least a few items.
Lazarus is complaining about fpcsrc files, which I didn't install.
I installed FPC2.2.2 and Lazarus only.
So I guess I have to go and install the source now.

thanks,

Paul

FYI:
I want to improve a few things in the lazarus installer to make paths and
defaults more convenient. I hope to find some time this week.

Re: Installing on Mac OS X

Ok,

placing it all in the /Developer/ folder seems more logical to me.
FPC should do the same imho (for Mac OS X).
Are you writing this installer or is this a joint effort ?

FPC is a unix command line application. Those belong under /usr/local/  
(it's the reason of existence for that hierarchy). Putting it under / 
Developer would not make it any easier to use, since /Developer (or / 
Developer/fpc/usr/bin or so) is not in the default command line path  
either, and there is not a single double-clickable application in the  
Mac OS X FPC distribution (well, none that does anything useful when  
you execute it like that anyway).

What can you not find? The downloaded file, or the files it installed?  
The downloaded file is probably in the downloads folder in your home  
directory (or in Safari, choose Window->Downloads and click on the  
magnifying glass next to the file).

The files it installed are again somewhere under /usr/local, probably.  
In the installer, you can choose File->Show Files to see where it puts  
everything (ignore the "." at the start of the path names).
