MAC OSX 10.8 arm-iphonesim Issues with Install

[kevin.black]

Hi,

More issues with Lazarus on MAC OSX. 

I'm trying to use the arm-iphonesim (having now got i386-Darwin working).  I'm using FPC and FPCSRC v2.6.0.  I assumed that the arm-iphonesim stuff would have been included in the install.  Apparently this is not the case.  I've looked at the paths below and cannot see anything remotely resembling iphonesim (but then I am no expert WRT MACs and/or lazarus).

I am obviously missing something, anyone have any ideas what I need to do.  Sure, I can see there are a pile of directories/files missing, but I have no idea where to find them.  I struggled through the OSX install and (finally) got that working. 

I see the HINT, but I cannot even find an /etc directory.  Regardless, since I cannot find any of the arm-iphonesim directories or files I wouldn't know what to put in the cfg file.

And I have NO IDEA where it came up with Users/Kevin/Dropbox/MAC TEST/lib/arm-iphonesim.  This path just doesn't make any sense?

Any help greatly appreciated....

What is MAC OSX 4.8? Mac OS X 10.4.8 or Mac OS X 10.8?

Did you install XCode and from there (Preferences / Downloads) the Command Line tools?

What you will do with the "arm-iphonesim"?
Do you want the application on a IOS device?

Hi,

Yes I installed XCODE and the Command Line Tool.  I can compile for i386-Darwin which also (IIRC) requires XCODE and the Command Line Tool installed.

Well, yes.  The plan is to initially run it on the iPhone Simulator which I have downloaded and installed.  We may have an iPhone app to write and I'm just getting prepared. I like Lazarus...

Thanks,
Kevin

if you want to develop IOS apps with Lazarus, you must first compile FPC correctly.
Here you find a description:

then you can use this:

iPhone Laz extension you will have to adapt to the newer versions of lazarus.

If that's too much, you can watch my project:

Iff,

Hey, thanks for that and the extremely detailed step by step guide.  I had no idea it was going to be as complex.  BUT I'll give it a go.  Appreciate your help and I'll post progress (or not)

Cheers,
Kevin

For the record: the reason no units for the arm-iphonesim target were found is simply because that target does not exist. The simulator runs i386 code, not arm code. So it's i386-iphonesim.
