./../ppaslink.sh: line 9: /usr/bin/ld: Argument list too long

I have problems compiling some packages ONLY under DARWIN. Have no clue where to start.

Same packages compiles ok on linux, windows, linux-arm, etc

What to start checking? seems like an OS limitations

What version of OS X is your Mac running? And ld? And FPC? And Lazarus?

ld -v

What happens if you run ppaslink.sh from Terminal command line? Any difference?

What packages?

Nothing happens because try to reach 64 bits compiler. Im using fpcupdeluxe BTW so, i have no access to the same paths definitions on command line.

It happens with ANY package, just after some packages i installed , i add one more and fails.

Try standard Laz 1.6.4 installation. If no problem there, then it's fpcupdeluxe.

[DonAlfredo]

If this is a fpcupdeluxe install, please post your fpc.cfg.
And can you give more info about the package(s) you try to install ?
Edit: and the link.res ?

lazarus 1.6.4 refuse to build using trunk fpc.

So, i cannot know where the problem is (i need FPC 3.1.1 BTW)

This is the fpc.cfg

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76375897/Temp/fpc.cfg

The package is REMOBJECTS DATAABSTRACT SERVER. have no idea wich more specific info to give , except it builds on linux 32, linux 64, linux arm, win32, win64... Inall that installations i use the same sequence (but no fpcupdeluxe) Just native by hand build as explained on my blog. Just using fpcupdeluxe for mac os.

Best regards

In your fpc.cfg, would you comment out the -ap swith ? Its just a wild guess ...

Done. no luck.

Ok. Need more details.

What do you mean by this ?

Running from command line do nothing. I bet because can't find fpc version compiled for fcupdeluxe?

[DonAlfredo]

Ok. Perhaps I understand now.

Fpcupdeluxe installs a FPC/Laz combi without changing anything to the host-PC.
Meaning: no paths are set.
Meaning: FPC will not be found from the command line unless the full path is specified.

I think you encounter the same problem that prevent Mac specific packages (like for iPhone) to work:
fpcupdeluxe makes a local install.

For some (like me)very usefull, for others (like you I presume) causing problems.
