[Solved] MacOS X Yosemite - Install issues ... anyone?
« on: August 20, 2014, 09:14:18 pm »
I've just tried to install Lazarus 1.2.4 on MacOS  Yosemite (Public Beta).
Installation runs just fine, and the Lazarus IDE starts fine as well.
However, compiling a test program, or recompiling the IDE does not seem to work.


I've disabled the debugger (set to: none), XCode and command line tools are installed, paths seem OK.


I keep getting the message (on rebuilding the IDE):
"/Developer/lazarus/packager/registration/lazaruspackageintf.pas(64,27) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping"


I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem as well ...


p.s. I'm aware that a beta OS comes with complications ... just thought I'd ask.

Finally figured it out after working from the command line (lazbuild).
You need to rung the following from Terminal, otherwise nothing compiles ...


Code: [Select]
sudo xcodebuild -license

Hope this will be usefull to others ...  :D

For who is interested:


- Lazarus adapts very nicely (so far) to Yosemite UI elements ... (see attached pic)


- For the debugger I did use the same trick as with 10.9 (link) and it works under the Public Beta as well.

Carbon survives another OSX release.
...or is it Cocoa build?

Thank you for the research and solution!

Running Carbon ...  :D


(but I really wish we could switch to Cocoa soon)

I created an icon for my Lazarus Projects folder, but even compressed it's too large to post in this forum. Sorry for the inconvenience ... I did attach a preview, and you can download the .icns file from my website (link).

Could you please try TComboBox behavior? I wonder if Apple fixed it after all :)
In current OSX version, selecting an item from Combobox dropdown requires two clicks, instead of one (as it's in Cocoa).

@Hansaplast: Thanks for sharing your experiences. Your hints are very helpful.

@skalogryz: This is in fact an odd thing. In my experiments with Yosemite the behaviour was identical to that of previous OS X versions, but I did not yet try the newest build.
function GetRandomNumber: integer; // xkcd.com
begin
  GetRandomNumber := 4; // chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
end;

nah, that's Apple encouragement to move to Cocoa, i'm sure it won't be fixed.

@skalogryz:


I had never noticed that  :o  ...
But yep, it still does that,... unless you set the Style property to csDropDownList.
You might run into another problem then though: when I leave ItemIndex at -1, the text doesn't always seem to keep up with what I selected.
