Install new components in Lazarus x86-64 on Catalina
« on: December 09, 2019, 06:31:58 pm »
Hi all,

I've installed Lazarus macOS x86-64 on Catalina, which runs fine. Now when I try to install new components from the Online Package Manager or some downloaded package files all run fine, but when I quit the IDE and restart it those components are not installed any more. Their packages appear to be just "autoinstalled static" and not also "installed static". So I have to open and install them once again, and all works fine.

Any idea on how to fix that?

Thanks!

No, but if I open a package (let's say Zeos), compile it again and rebuild Lazarus, all works fine. But when I quit Lazarus and open it again I have to recompile again the component.

Same here, however I noticed that I just have to rebuild Lazarus and it's fine, until your close it and re-open it.

I noticed that there is 2 Lazarus icons in the Dock, when you close Lazarus, the Lazarus icon disappears and reverts to default application icon.  If you open it from there the packages stay installed...

Ok, i found a solution.

1. go to application folder, right click to Lazarus (program) and "show original"
2. in this folder search "startlazarus" --> start this and lazarus will start with all included components-Librarys.
3. I made an alias of "startlazarus", spend this alias a new icon and drag the alias to my dock (not to the programs, you can only ad this to the folder section)

Curious.

I've been opening the lazarus.app because when using startlazarus.app the icon appears and disappears from the Dock and there's no Menu bar. Using lazarus.app gives me a persistent Dock icon and a Menu bar.

I'm not sure I've installed any additional components so as to miss them though.

[I compile both Lazarus trunk and fpc trunk from source].

Now on version 2.0.10 - same issue - not solved.

However, I found that using directly the Lazarus.app link that the component install rebuild created, all works fine.  ie. use the app at:  ~/.lazarus/bin/lazarus.app

I think this Wiki article on Startlazarus explains what is happening.

Briefly, if you do not have write access to the Lazarus application directory, when you rebuild Lazarus a new version is deposited in your pcp directory. Of course, next time you start Lazarus, it starts the original  read-only version again :)

Same issue, when I start by startlazarus,  everything is ok except that menu bar is missing. How can I get the menu bar back? Or how to solve the readonly component installation problem? Please.

Try this:

 open ~/.lazarus/bin/lazarus.app
