Thank you for your replies on this matter. No one addressed the
underlying problem here. I believe that all the examples should be run
prior to a major release and those that do not run should be removed.
This should be a significant part of regression testing. This was
clearly not done on the Intel Mac version and from your replies has
never been done for this version.
The problem is: who should run the tests? Not every developer of an
example can test his code on all target platforms. Removing examples,
that do not run on a specific platform, IMO is no reasonable decision.
Instead a general README file could list the platforms, on which every
sample application has been tested, with what result.
My original request repeated below remains unanswered.
I have recently installed fpc 2.2.4 and lazarus 0.9.28.2 on my intel mac
which is running OS X 10.5.8 from here:
Since such hardware and OS is not available to most example developers,
you could test all sample applications and report. I'm willing to update
the README files accordingly.
