| Posted on by



This version The latest release version is 3.2.0

  • Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 and 64 bit professional Pascal compiler. It is available for different processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x86 64, PowerPC, Sparc.
  • Xcode 3.2.x-4.2 compatibility (Mac OS X 10.6) FPC 3.0.2 is qualified for use with Mac OS X 10.4 till OS X 10.11, and with macOS 10.12 and 10.13. There is however an issue when compiling dynamic libraries with FPC under Mac OS X 10.6 due to a bug in the Xcode 3.2.x linker. This bug has been fixed in Xcode 4.
  • Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu; Apple; Shopping Bag +.
  • A small effort has been made to support some of the Apple Pascal syntax to ease interfacing to the Classic Mac OS and macOS. Since the Apple dialect implements some standard Pascal features that Turbo Pascal and Delphi omit, Free Pascal is a bit more ISO-compatible than these.

What is Turbo Pascal 1.x? Borland's Turbo Pascal for the Macintosh, brought better program writing via Pascal. The original Macintosh used a lot of Pascal code to write things for it. Later on Apple converted to C or C and then Object-C. Pascal was more for benginners in being easy to use a program.

'Unknown developer' error when installing (Mac OS X 10.7 and later)

If you get the message that the FPC installer was created by an unknown developer and cannot be opened, right-click (or ctrl-click) on the installation package and choose 'Open' in the contextual menu. If this does not work, you may first have to go to 'System Preferences' -> 'Security & Privacy' -> 'General', and 'Allow apps downloaded from: Mac App Store and Identified developers'. These workarounds are required because we do not pay Apple 99 euro per year, which would prove you can trust us.

Xcode 11+ compatibility (macOS 10.15 Catalina and later)

FPC 3.2.0 is qualified for use with Mac OS X 10.4 till macOS 10.15. Xcode 11+ no longer includes support for compiling Intel 32 bit programs. If you wish to compile such programs, you will have to copy an older Mac OS X SDK from a previous Xcode installation and point the compiler to it with the -XR command line parameter.

Xcode 10+ compatibility (macOS 10.14 Mojave and later)

Turbo Pascal For Mac Os FPC 3.2.0 is qualified for use with Mac OS X 10.4 till macOS 10.15. Xcode 10+ installs some command line file in different locations compared to previous releases. If you already installed FPC under a previous Mac OS X/OS X/macOS version, you will have to reinstall FPC 3.2.0 under macOS 10.14 to get a configuration file that enables the compiler to find the necessary files). See also the section below on how to install the command line tools.
