I am frustrated by a very simple problem. I am trying to convert real to integer, using free pascal for mac. I am an old Think Pascal user who just recently found free pascal and, while thrilled to have a pascal compiler for mac OSX, I am still a bit lost. In Think Pascal, I would have just used "round", but this doesn't seem to work.

x : integer;
y : real;

x := round(y);

gives me an error saying "got "Double" expected "SmallInt"". This occurs no matter how I define x: integer, smallint, etc. In fact, if I set x to real, then the program compiles and works, simply converting decimal values to 0 but not deleting them.

I suspect I am making some simple error.  Any advice?

I don't know what is going wrong.
I just created a sample app below on windows and that compiles without errors.
Maybe you can try that.

program Project1;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
  Classes, SysUtils
  { add your units here };

var
x : integer;
y : real;

begin
  y := pi;
  x := round(y);
end.
