Hi, I am on Apple M1 Pro with MacOS 15.2. Lazarus version is 3.4 and
FPC is 3.2.2

I was trying to get all windows docked but after adding the
anchordockingdsgn- package and click on "save and recompile" I get an
error meassage that the datetimepicker.pas could not be found. And if
this is a lazarus package I should check if lazarus was properly
installed. So I thought about uninstalling it first following the wiki
entry: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Uninstalling_Lazarus_on_macOS. But
this seems to be very old. Do you know what to do to get it either
working or to get it remoed completly so I can start from scratch?

Thanks in advanced.

I do appologize - a bit more effort on my side and I could have found
it myself...

I followed the second post
Quotehttps://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,65829 and
realized there is the new 3.6 version out for Mac. So I uninstalled
everything with the script provided in this post and downloaded all
three mentioned dmg- files. I could install the first one but while
installing the fpcsrc-3.2.2-20210709.pkg I get a message that the
installation package is deprecated and the package cannot therefore
not be installed. So it turns out I don't anything anymore 
Probably I have to wait some time until the owner builds a new one.

You could try the 4.0RC2 installer. Just to see if it helps.

Otherwise, I don't have a Mac, so I can't comment on the dmg files.
