I know there was a previous topic very similar, but that was put down as [SOLVED].
I have installed, loaded etc all of the prerequisites like XCODE and the other bits required. I have the fpc, fpcsrc (2.6) and Lazarus 1.1.4xxx from daily snapshot. Have also tried this with Lazarus 1.0.6. I note that the DMGs are all for i386 (32bit I assume). OSX 10.8 is 64bit only and there is no checkbox for the Lazarus application to run in 32bit mode.
So I run Lazarus and the system tells me I cannot build for OS etc selected (default is Darwin) and when I change it system hangs. When I do other stuff lazarus hangs.
Is it because I am running the 32bit fpc/fpcsrc/lazarus ion this 64bit VM. I have read (I am new to MACs) that running 32bit apps on a 64bit OS is not a good idea.
I've spent a good couple of days ++ just triyng to install lazarus. We have some iOS development and have the Simulator loaded. I have read this is a good way to develop for iPhone and iPad rather than Objective-C. We also have a windows development activity going which look great so would like to keep the development environments similar if possible.
Again, not an OSX guru so please take this into consideration when you reply, thanks.
Other than finding an OSX 10.7 VM that I can boot in 32bit mode, any suggestions??
EDIT:
I seem to have Lazarus running, but I cannot get past ...Compiler does not support this OS (Darwin).... But no matter what I put here it still hangs with that message.
So what OS/CPU etc should I put her to build for a MAC in the first instance?
Cheers,
