The docs are here:
<http://www.surtec.com/~rj/Xcode-FreePascal/>
and the installer is here:
<http://www.surtec.com/~rj/Xcode-FreePascal/FreePascalForXcode1.1.dmg>
It works fine on 10.3.9 with Xcode 1.5. The integration is especially
novel.
You download Apple's universal interfaces and mount the .dmg on the
Desktop.
The installer copies them to /Developer/Pascal and patches them on the
fly.
I had trouble downloading the image from Apple's web site, so I grabbed a
copy
off a recent developer DVD and soft-linked it to /Volumes where the
installer
expected it.
Having worked on a similar interface for Ada 95 <http://www.macada.org/>,
I'm
not sanguine that it'll work with Xcode 2.1, although this may help:
