Proper install and configuration of Lazarus on Mac OS X

[code_glitch]

Lazarus on a stick

Now I do like that idea... Might be quite useful considering I Use windows (all colours of it from DOS based 98SE to win7) and a few flavours of linux (netbooks that dont ship propper oses grrrr) and I have even used a mac before (waaat??). I must say, that moving all my code onto one fpc + laz (once i get to learn how to use it) would be quite nice...

But coming from a windows only environment; A package manager is HEAVEN on earth. And peronsally, I find the whole .deb and software sources approach quite nice Especially since I can get 80% of all the stuff I need by just sudo apt-get installing everything. Its sooo nice. Maybe I'll get a mac one day. Come on hardware - just one small temporary screwup to justify the me getting a mac. pleaaaase? Darn, it's all working 100% for the first time ever.

I don't know what a problem do you have, and how you get it, but I just have downloaded the latest snapshot of Lazarus 0.9.29(lazarus-0.9.29.28159-20101109-i386-macosx.dmg) and installed it from dmg. All works fine after that, without any problems. About uninstall under Linux - there is no problem with it, and never been. But under MacOS X I didn't find something like package manager under Linux or Install/Uninstall under Windows. Here your path's:
- compiler path - /usr/local/bin/ppc386
- fpc source - /usr/local/share/fpcsrc/

You can find FPC in /usr/local/lib/fpc. But you can't go there using Finder...

See thats the problem if you've installed it from scratch, fresh, no other previous Lazarus installed then you're probably ok. But I already installed the older "stable" 0.9.28.0 before and the config files are stuck there. I have to reset them or remove it all and install this new snapshot of Laz from scratch.

I can't figure out where the config files for Laz are...

It's sort of working now...

I fixed the file paths and I have FPC 2.4.0 and it's source installed.

I can generate applications, however the debugger crashes on me after a successful build and the app won't run after. (via pressing the 'Run' icon to compile and test your app)

Anyone know what might be up with my debugger?
