Fpcupdeluxe

[DonAlfredo]

You can do two things:
1: copy the qt5 libs from the fpcupdeluxe zip into the Lazarus directory
2: cross-compile your app from Windows or Linux towards Haiku. Note: fpcupdeluxe itself is cross-compiled.

Hi guys!
When compiling in host system Windows for Linux I have got the next:
"Debug: C:\fpcupdeluxe\cross\bin\aarch64-linux\aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.exe: cannot find /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1"
"...Export.Exel.lpr(31,0) Error: Error while linking"

Path "c:\fpcupdeluxe\cross\lib\aarch64-linux\" was set in the project settings where there is ld-linux-aarch64.so.1.
What do I need to do to make it work?

Thanks.

[DonAlfredo]

AFAIK, you are trying to cross-compile a library. Perhaps as part of your project.
Cross-linking a library will fail.
See: https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=36506

A path for FPC stable is available:
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/blob/master/patchfpc/fpcpatch_linux_linker.patch

On FPC trunk this error can be circumvented by adding:
{$linklib c}
into your library source.

However !
Look closely at the bug-report.
FPC devs have their advice on how to accomplish this.

@DonAlfredo: My Macbook Air M1 arrived today, second thing I tried was running fpcupdeluxe, but it fails (1.8.2f) Is there a way I can help to make it work?

Starting it from Bundle gives a message that I do not have enough rights to start the app, direct start gives this:

Error:
./fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa.app/Contents/MacOS/fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa
zsh: killed

@MIR: Did you do the  CTRL-CLICK dance to bypass Gatekeeper? The fact  fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa was being killed suggests not.

[DonAlfredo]

@MiR
A wrong binary was uploaded by me. Please download fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa again. It should work !
Please note: aarch64-darwin is still work-in-progress.

Edit:
Another upload for darwin arm64 is also available.
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/1.8.2f/fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa-cross.zip
It has been codesigned on my Windows PC. Would be interesting to know if this one also works on your system. Please test. Thanks.

[MiR]

Unfortunately both do not work. The error message is different, it now says that the file is corrupt and the only option is to delete it.

Result is the same for both new files from github.

Systemlog revealed that Gatekeeper is standing in the way (Yes, I used CTRL-Click):

10.12.2020, 10:14:56 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: Coalition Cache Hit: app<application.com.company.fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa.860843.860848(501)> [9961]
10.12.2020, 10:15:07 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: removing service since it exited with consistent failure - OS_REASON_EXEC | Gatekeeper policy blocked execution

Next step then was to declare Terminal as a Developer Tool, after this step I could actually start fpcupdeluxe from within Terminal.

But build failed:

@MIR: You can compile both FPC + Lazarus from source - see the Wiki article ARM64/AArch64/Apple Silicon Support. This works for me on the base M1 Mac mini.

[DonAlfredo]

@MiR
Thanks for this feedback ! Very useful.
As said, arm64-darwin is still a moving target for fpcupdeluxe: I am also very interested to know if you are able to get the cross-app running (a bit).
Will look into a suitable bootstrapper for FPC.

[MiR]

Thinking about the error message, it makes a lot of sense.

We only have trunk compiler on aarch64 so the search for stable fpc must fail. I tried to build both stable.git and trunk.git for fpc, same result for both.

@DonAlfredo: Can I override this check in some way? I looked through settings+ but the right side of the dialog is greyed out for me.

@trev: Thank you, I already did that yesterday, my point is that I would like to help DonAlfredo to make fpcupdeluxe work on M1 chipssets so others have a smoother transition.

[DonAlfredo]

This message includes a screenshot on how to override the compiler in Setup+.
You need to select the target os and cpu first !

[MiR]

I would love to change those settings but..... 

[DonAlfredo]

That is a good one ... 
Will build new up-binaries. Stay tuned !
 

[MiR]

Success.....

I created a symlink to my local build of fpc-trunk in fpcbootstrap directory and tweaked fpc options to include path to my commandlinetools:

-FD/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin -XR/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

and I have a native lazarus built with fpcupdeluxe on my mac.....

To automate the setting of -FD and -XR I'd propose to use this command:

xcrun --show-sdk-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

and then later include both -FD and -XR in you custom fpc.cfg

This last step is also valid for builds of x64_64, I had to do those tweaks a while ago to make lazarus compile on my 'old' x86_64 mac.

[DonAlfredo]

That is good news ! Thanks again.

I have uploaded 2 new pre-release versions of up for Darwin AMR64.
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/1.8.2g/fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa-signed.zip
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/1.8.2g/fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-darwin-cocoa.zip

If one of these work, the settings panel is enabled and the -XR option is added.

I have also uploaded an non-signed bootstrapper. Meaning: it will be found and downloaded; it will not run until signed.

Note:
The binaries are signed on my Windows PC. And that will most definitely be not enough I guess. But worth a try.
