[fpc-devel] Free Pascal problem

[Chris Handley]

Hi,

My old Code Warrior pascal is no longer compatible with MAC OS 10.5 :- 
(. I have installed free pascal, but it failed :-(.

Here is the code:

******************************************
program test (input, output);

begin
writeln('Note that for the time being, this will have to be compiled  
using free pascal');
end.
****************************************

Here is the output:

******************************
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.2.1 [2007/10/30] for i386

Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you  
did not specify a source file to be compiled)
********************************

What did I do wrong? I suspect that it is something trivial.
