Setup


Windows

Set up (Lazarus)

Download 32bit version of Lazarus1.8.4 and install it into the folder that has no space character on its path name.
Lazarus Download (SourceForge)

Set up (BASICAcc)

BASICAcc should be extracted into a regular folder on which the user has write permission.
The name of the folder must not contain any space characters.
For example, Desktop is not suitable. USB flush drives shall be suitable.
When the system is updated by overwriting, the OUTPUT folder must be cleared.
Afterward, execute BASICAcc.exe, and set up two paths.
Click "Set Up" and select "Path".
"fpc path" is the path to the folder on which fpc.exe exists.
"Lazarus path" is the full path name of the folder that contains lazarus.exe.

If you have installed win32 Lazarus + fpc 3.0.4. on C drive, the two paths are following.

C:\Lazarus\fpc\3.0.4\bin\i386-win32
C:\Lazarus

Note.
If you use 64bit Windows, Lazarus 1.8.4 win64 also can be used.
Lazarus Win64
Select Setup - Path menu to set Target CPU to 64bit and set the paths.
Note that FPC win64 does not support 80 bit extended precision floating point, thus power operation or some irrational functions may perform inaccurate.
Note.
When cros-x86_64 add-on is installed to 32 bit Lazarus, the fpc path is same as the path to 32 bit fpc.

That may as follows.
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30.4/
or
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0



Linux (x86_64)

And the folder must not contain a space character. Note that when you use a USB drive, if it has a name such as "NO NAME", it must be renamed.
Note 1. Overwriting update is undesirable. Old files must be erased before update.
Note 2. On OS 10.9 or later, for the first time any program is compiled, click to execute NoName.app in the OUTPUT folder with Ctrl-key pressed.

Trouble Shooting
1. For the First Time
(1) Empty ReportForm shown
If the first Run comannd yields empty ReportForm, this may caused by Unexecuted XCode license agreement.
On the terminal, run sudo xcrun cc and enter agree at the end.
(2) ReportForm shows PPU Source :synedit.pp not found.
Launch Lazarus IDE and select Package menu - Open Loaded packages.
And then Open and Compile the followings:
Synedit
Printer4lazarus
(3) NoName can't be opened because it is from anunidentified developer.
Right-click (or control-click) Noname.app in the OUTPUT folder and choose “Open.”
