hello, I've installed Lazarus on Catalina following the advice on this thread:

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,47011.0.html

after installing it, whenever I build a program, I get this error:

interfaces.pas(23,2) Error: User defined: wrong interfaces source


I clicked on tools/option and the Compiler executable is already on /usr/local/bin/ppc386 , but still it still doesn't work (check screen attached).

I don't know what to do and how to solve it.
Any suggestion?

Thank you

update:
I think one the problems is that I had a different version of Lazarus installed before, I think I might have some hidden files interfering with the new version and this could be a reason why I'm encountering this error.

I've decided to RESET my mac and I'll try to install everything all over again, just to have a clean machine to try on.

I'll post the update if I succeed (mods delete this thread if you think is not relevant)

You do realise that Catalina has removed ALL support for 32 bit applications and so the 32 bit Carbon framework is no longer available?

You need to use the 64 bit compiler /usr/local/bin/ppcx64 and set the widgetset to Cocoa.
