I decided to update to the latest 2.2.4 compiler so I cleaned out the 2.2.2 install and deleted the Lazarus from the website that I was using. Decided I'd live on the wild side and try to use the SVN version like I do in Windows. On OS X I had been using the download version from last year. Worked fine, but it looks like there's a lot of activity with Lazarus on OS X so I wanted to take a shot at the svn version. Also installed the latest QT so I could see how that was coming. I've compiled it using the information here:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Carbon_Interface

The compilation appears to go just fine but no .app is created. Is that expected? I try and run it from the command line with ./lazarus and a popup appears saying it can't find the FPC source folder (I put it in /usr/share/fpcsource which I saw referenced somewhere). I try and hit the ignore button but it doesn't respond to the clicks. I can move the window around, but that's it until I hit CTRL-C to kill the app. Hopefully this will give someone an idea.

Thanks in advance,
Ron

if you're using lazarus SVN version, then it's already should contain lazarus.app with links properly set.

That's normal when starting without lazarus.app.
The lazarus.app comes with the svn sources.

Ah, I had deleted it for some reason while I was fiddling around. It works now. :-)

Thank you,
