Updating of macOS 11.5.x corrupts FPC on M1 Mac
« on: August 12, 2021, 02:28:52 pm »
Since macOS 11.5 every new update (11.5.1, 11.5.2) damages FPC 3.2.2 binaries or configuration on M1-powered Mac.

Symptoms:

FPC refuses to cross-compile for x86_64/darwin.
Compilation for aarch64/darwin works fine.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Mac-mini-Igor:~ mac$ fpc -Px86_64
  2. Error: /usr/local/bin/ppcx64 can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "/usr/local/bin/ppcx64", error code: 127

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. bash-3.2$ lazbuild --cpu=x86_64 --build-mode=Release --build-all --recursive MyApp.lpi
  2. Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/local/bin/fpc" "-iWTOTP" "-Px86_64"
  3. Warning: [TPCTargetConfigCache.Update] cannot find real compiler for this platform: Compiler="/usr/local/bin/fpc" Options="-Px86_64" RealCompiler=""
  4. TProject.DoLoadStateFile Statefile not found: /Users/mac/Dev/MyApp/lib/x86_64-darwin/MyApp.compiled
  5. Error: /usr/local/bin/ppcx64 can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "/usr/local/bin/ppcx64", error code: 127
  6. Error: (lazarus) Compile Project, Mode: Release, CPU: x86_64, Target: MyApp: stopped with exit code 1
  7. Error: (lazbuild) failed compiling of project /Users/mac/Dev/MyApp/MyApp.lpi


Native aarch64/darwin compiler works fine:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. bash-3.2$ fpc -Paarch64
  2. Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2 [2021/05/16] for aarch64
  3. <...>

Solution:

I found a simple workaround. Reinstallation of fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx.dmg cures FPC configuration and now FPC works correctly again.

It seems that this problem doesn't appear on Intel Macs. Only on M1 Macs.

Maybe OS X reapplies some security policy/permission every update?

Yes, but native ARM compiler continue to work.

Probably Jonas can check this issue on his M1 Mac?

I have not had this issue on my M1 Mac mini which I just this morning updated from 11.5.1 to 11.5.2. I have FPC 3.3.1, 3.2.0 and 3.2.2 all installed and the compiler binaries all still execute without any issues (both native aarch64 and x86_64).

Interesting. I had this issue twice after updating to 11.5.1 and 11.5.2

My macOS installation is a clean (without Time Machine or import) when I purchased Mac Mini M1 in March.

I did exactly the same as you, started completely clean with no TM backups or settings migration.

Does the system log reveal more details about why the x86_64 binaries are no longer being executed?

Sorry, I didn't explore system logs.

If this issue will occur again with future update of macOS, I'll try to check logs.
