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:

[2004-8-15 snapshot]:

There is much development going on for Free Pascal for Mac OS X.
Therefore, it might be a good idea to get FreePascal from CVS anyway.
http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html#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
sudo make install
Enjoy!
