All, I have a couple of questions WRT FPC on the Mac. I have tried searching archives without success. I hope this is the right place to ask.
I am trying to help a friend (a mathematician) to run an app he wrote using FPC. He needs to run a lot of instances of his app (8 hours per run), and he wants to be able to run multiple instances simultaneously under system control. 1. Does FPC compile natively for the ARM Macs, specifically an M1? Docs I found do not directly answer this question (he's thinking about purchasing an M1 Mac mini). 2. Does FPC provide any support for interfacing to the system? a. Can an FPC compiled app be run from the terminal with recognition of input parameters (standard I/O). E.G. run something such as "myApp /../myInputFile.txt /../myOutputFile.txt", and have the app parse $1 and $2 for the input and output files? If FPC supports standard I/O, how is it accomplished within the app? b. Does FPC support Mac system APIs? This is a general question since API support in any one of several areas (beyond graphics for example) would be beneficial. TIA! Rhyman
