Free Pascal 3.2.0 is currently available for the following platforms: - Linux-i386 - Linux-x8664 (amd64) - Linux-powerpc - Linux-sparc - Linux-ARM - Win32-i386 (2000/XP, WinNT or later) - Win64-x8664 (XP or later) - Wince-ARM (cross compiled from win32-i386) - FreeBSD-i386 - FreeBSD-x8664 - Mac OS X/Darwin for PowerPC (32 and 64 bit) - Mac. I had a Mac in my hands at a certain time because I wanted to use my own custom font for my Lazarus Pascal applications on Mac and it was a nightmare to install. I probably will less galley with this tutorial. So again thank you very much for writing this tutorial.
This article applies to Mac OS Classic only.

Mac Pascal is a designation that was retrospectively assigned to Apple's Object Pascal.
Based on earlier foundations laid with Lisa Pascal and Clascal a development team at Apple Computer led by Larry Tesler developed an object-oriented version of the Pascal language in consultation with Niklaus Wirth. The first version of this dialect, termed Object Pascal, was released in 1985.
Within short time Object Pascal became the premier development language for Mac OS Classic. Apple's Object Pascal syntax was also adopted by alternative IDEs for the Macintosh platform including THINK Pascal and Metrowerks Pascal. In 1989 concepts of Object Pascal were included in version 5.5 of Turbo Pascal.
Since then, Object Pascal is a generic term for modern Pascal implementations allowing for OOP, and Apple's original implementation has been termed Mac Pascal.
Mac Pascal support in Free Pascal
Today, the Mac Pascal syntax is still supported by Free Pascal if the MACPAS mode is activated. This may be e.g. required if one wants to develop FPC programs for Target MacOS and incorporate legacy code.

Portal:Mac
This portal provides an overview of development for macOS (previously marketed as Mac OS X until 2012 and OS X until 2016) with Lazarus and Free Pascal. Development of macOS software is easy with Lazarus using the Cocoa (64 bit) widgetset. The Carbon widgetset is also available but only for 32 bit software and only up to macOS 10.14 Mojave. Apple removed the Carbon framework from macOS 10.15 Catalina (2019) - that operating system and future versions will no longer run any 32 bit software. Other widgetsets like Qt are also supported, but their use requires additional effort. Free Pascal can also be used to develop software for Mac OS Classic and older versions of macOS (before Tiger). |
