[QUOTE="musicvortex, post: 528591, member: 39004"] Hi, I just switched from Windows a few weeks ago, love my Mac Pro!! I'm learning Pascal at my school, and they are using Borland's Turbo Pascal on Windows. Obvioiusly, it's not available on mac. So I did some research and came up with something called Lazarus which uses FreePascal. So I downloaded the 3 DMG files. Got out my OS 10.5 disk, installed X11. Also installed something called [b]fink[/b]. Then got the fink GUI called "[b]fink commander[/b]". I also installed [b]GTK+ , as well as cairo, Glib, Pango, and ATK.[/b] So I think I did everything I had to. Took me awhile to figure out why it wasn't in my apps folder. Then i went looking around for /usr directory, couldn't figure out why it wasn't showing up in finder. Manually navigated to it. Under /usr/local/share/lazarus when I double click Lazarus.app it doesn't open! Also I tried entering the following in Terminal, but that didn't work either. [code] cd /usr/local/share/lazarus ./lazarus[/code] --- Or else, I like a program I just installed called [b]Smultron[/b]. Is there any way I could use that to edit the code, and then just run it using Pascal somehow? I don't really need tons of features, I'm a new programmer. Pascal is only my second language (Turing was my first). Any help is much appreciated, thanks! [/QUOTE]
