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. DoDi -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

I've tried some of these examples and those that I've tried don't work! Can someone please tell me which examples should work, which examples require modification to get them to work and which examples will not work. In general all example in that directory should work.

It may bot be installed by default on Mac OS X, because it was not big endian safe (on powerpc), it may be fixed in the mean time. In the mean time dbf is available on Mac OS X.
