After rethinking about it... I don't think I won't be able to use 64 bit Lazarus as long as I use Carbon since Carbon is 32 bit anyway. Unless Lazarus support for Cocoa goes beta (at least) while it's still on alpha today. However, I still able to create 64 bit app on Mac if I don't use Carbon i.e. web app or console app. Well, that's what I use Lazarus for anyway. I use Lazarus only as IDE since I have no need to build GUI app on Mac. So, 32 bit Lazarus on SL is alright. :D

I have found -P param. Sorry. :D

No need until Cocoa is mature enough to be used to build Lazarus IDE.

This time only to produce non-GUI 64 bit app, use -P param (compiler option).

I haven't found it yet why it doesn't appear on the component tabs.

FPC is ready, I suppose. But, Lazarus isn't. :(

I haven't found it yet. So, for now I have to live with Lazarus without gdb support. Quite a pain, actually. :(

Well... I think I have answered most of my own questions. :D

But, I'm still waiting for any suggestions on the unanswered ones. ;)
