Fpcupdeluxe

[Josh]

Hi
Just updated Laz updated darwin i386 and x64 cross compilers.

I think something major has changed, if I target Darwin and change widgetset to carbon with i386, when I compile it says its ok, but if i copy this to the mac shared folder that has the app bundle, I get this is not an Application error, if i double click the generated file it open with textedit, and sometimes it informs me that its a windows file.

I then tried changing to Darwin, X64 and cocoa as widgetset, and this created a slightly larger file but the same problem as above.

Any thoughts?

Hi

Trying to install darwin cross compilers, getting the error below when trying either i386 to darwin or x86-64 to darwin.

genmath.inc(919,7) Fatal: Internal error 2014051001

[DonAlfredo]

What about the error message shown ?

FPC revision 30351 introduced some changed into the compiler causing this error.
Has something todo about how floating points are handled. And that has changed.
See: http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=30351

Hi
I noticed that, but following link, refers to something 2.5 years ago.
The installation is a new installation, so nothing else is installed just a vanilla fpc trunk.

You will encounter more problems when using FPC 64bit on Windows for cross-compiling: the "80 bit extended floating point".
See: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29892
See: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=9262
Be prepared.

The preferred Windows setup is still: a 32bit install and cross-compile towards 64bit if needed.

What version of FPC ?

[kazalex]

What version of FPC ?

Current trunk.

[DonAlfredo]

Confirmed
Linux Mint64 100% ok.
Ubuntu64 failure.
Looking into it.

@kazalex
Mmmm ... rather trivial ...
You need to install clang to cross towards Darwin.
(sudo apt-get install clang)
You need to install java to cross towards java.
(sudo apt-get install default-jre)
I will add warnings into fpcupdeluxe about this.

DonAlfredo,

Many thanks for working on this valuable project. The complexity of installing on multiple versions on 3 platforms means I usually install only the stable releases. Fpcupdeluxe may allow me contribute better with more bug hunting. I'm particularly interested in helping debug the Cocoa widgets.

I tried to install the latest version, v1.4.0r:

fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.app

and ran into the same issues josh did. I'll follow his progress and see if I can make it work.

Cheers,
VTwin

Remember: fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa installs 64bit Lazarus Cocoa, which is far from perfect yet.

I my opinion, and for the moment, it is easier to stick with carboni386 and cross towards cocoa64.
Carboni386 works perfect and makes life easier on you.
Crossing towards cocoa64 will help you in revealing the cocoa-quircks.
Just my 2 cents.

You need to install clang to cross towards Darwin.
(sudo apt-get install clang)

Now works. Thanks.

You need to install java to cross towards java.
(sudo apt-get install default-jre)

I have Java installed but still receive an error:

Building compiler for java-jvm.
system.j:230: JAS Error: Badly formatted number.

...but last line of log:

SUCCESS: Fpcupdeluxe ended without errors.

...confused

[VTwin]

I my opinion, and for the moment, it is easier to stick with carboni386 and cross towards cocoa64.

Thanks, I'll try that route.
