I'm using Visual Studio Code on OS X El Capitan. I've installed the OmniPascal extension in Visual Studio Code for coding using Free Pascal as the compiler without Delphi or lazarus installation.

The installation guide on https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Wosi.omnipascal says I should set objectpascal.delphiInstallationPath to the Delphi installation path. I don't know what is this setting for, and I don't have Delphi installed. Since the page also says the extension is for Free Pascal coding too, I wonder that what value works for Free Pascal or no value should be set.

Additionally, about another setup objectpascal.searchPath, does the search path means the directory of Pascal units or source files or both?

Update

OmniPascal is now available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Original post

The OmniPascal language service is currently running on Windows only. So you only have syntax highlighting and basic code snippets on a Mac. Code completion, finding declarations, outlining and other language related features require a Windows machine for now.

The language service will work on Mac and Linux in the future but there are other important topics to be covered before porting the code to different platforms.
