Mac M1 version (ARM64)

[marcelloh]

I can't find the compiled version for a Mac M1. Any hint on where to get it.
(And no: don't want to compile it myself)

macports (https://www.macports.org) has it and chances are good that it just downloads the binary. Even if not, "sudo port install fpc" does all tricks required.

If you just want FPC, then the official installer includes a universal binary for both aarch64 and x86_64: https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Mac%20OS%20X/3.2.2/fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx.dmg/download

If you also want the Lazarus IDE, the official installers include the same FPC universal binary, but the Lazarus IDE is an Intel binary: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20x86-64/Lazarus%202.2.0/

After installation you can rebuild Lazarus from within itself from the menu to get a native aarch64 version (but note that you will need to fix some issues - see this post.

I also make daily automated snapshots of the compiled development version of both FPC and the Lazarus IDE for aarch64 available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/macos-lazarus-snapshots/

Hmmm.. Didn't get any notification from the boards that there where answers. Thanks for this answer. I did not see it was a combined package.
I'm installing the Xcode tools now and see if the library is installed after that. :-)
The installation was successful, so that's a win.

However when I try something, I get errors.

You did install the Xcode command line tools BEFORE installing FPC, correct?

You are trying to compile for Darwin, correct?

Did you install FPC or FPC + Lazarus?

Which installation method did you use?
