Lazarus Snapshots Downloads

Unofficial macOS Lazarus and FPC Snapshots

I am currently making daily, automated, untested builds of the Lazarus development version (trunk in svn, main in git) for macOS -- Cocoa, 64 bit, Intel + aarch64 (M1) processors -- available on SourceForge.

There is also a daily, automated, untested build of the development version (trunk in svn, main in git) of the Free Pascal Compiler for macOS -- aarch64 (M1) processor only.

The only guarantee is that the software compiled successfully using a recent development version of FPC. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNTESTED SOFTWARE. Caveat Utilitor!

Official Snapshots

I have written a program with fpcunit and lNet to check, if the daily snapshots are refreshed. You can view the report, which is refreshed every 15 minutes. stopped working.

Warning: These snapshots are generated automatically and are untested. The only thing we can say is, that the compiler found the source good enough to compile. These snapshots are provided as a courtesy only. If they don't work, too bad! If they destroy your project files, crash your machine, and eat your disk: tough luck! (just to say that YOU ARE USING COMPLETELY UNTESTED SOFTWARE)''
