Since version 4.3.3 Xcode is installed only as application in folder
applications. Some folders are apparent in content of application
but distinguishing in substance with folder developer.
Will or until when will free pascal developed for earlier version of Xcode?
FPC will probably keep working with Xcode 3.x for quite some time,
because it does not need anything that is only supported by newer
Xcode versions.
Should Xcode 3.2.6 kept for working with free pascal 2.6?
There are two separate aspects:
a) the Xcode project templates. These allow you to develop FPC
programs inside the Xcode IDE. The templates shipped with FPC 2.6.0
only work with Xcode 3.x, not with Xcode 4.x. So if you want to use
those, you indeed have to keep Xcode 3.2.6. Someone else has however
created project templates that work with Xcode 4.x, which you can
download from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28343282/ObjP/index.html (they
are mainly geared at development using Objective-Pascal though)
b) the Xcode command line utilities (in particular the assembler "as"
and the linker "ld"). These are required to be able to compile
anything with FPC. FPC works with the assembler and linker of Xcode
2.x up to and including the latest Xcode 4.x, but with Xcode 4.3 and
later you have to install them separately (see the section "Xcode 4.3
compatibility" at
http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/macosx-netherlands.var for
instructions)
What about folder Developer Xcode 4.1 (7,44 GB) and application
Xcode 4.4.1 (3.3 GB)? Will be needed both?
No, one of them is enough. Just make sure you install the
assembler/linker (part of the "Command line utilities") as described
above.
