Attempting to install Lazarus and build project using Circle CI fails

[mewpokemon]

Heyas!

I'm trying to automate building my project on MacOS using Circle CI.

I've never worked on a Mac before so I'm totally in the dark.  However, it seems to me that something is seriously wrong with the installation procedure.  I'm executing the following commands:

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1.              
2.                pwd
3.               curl -L -o ~/fpc-src-3.2.2-20210709-macosx.dmg 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20x86-64/Lazarus%202.2.0/fpc-src-3.2.2-20210709-macosx.dmg'
4.               ls -l ~
5.               hdiutil attach ~/fpc-src-3.2.2-20210709-macosx.dmg
6.               ls -l /Volumes/fpcsrc-3.2.2
7.               sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/fpcsrc-3.2.2/fpcsrc-3.2.2-20210709.pkg -target /
8.               curl -L -o ~/fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx.dmg 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20x86-64/Lazarus%202.2.0/fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx.dmg'
9.               hdiutil attach ~/fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx.dmg
10.               ls -l /Volumes/fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx
11.               sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/fpc-3.2.2.intelarm64-macosx/fpc-3.2.2-intelarm64-macosx.mpkg -target /
12.               curl -L -o ~/Lazarus-2.2.0-0-x86_64-macosx.pkg 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20x86-64/Lazarus%202.2.0/Lazarus-2.2.0-0-x86_64-macosx.pkg'
13.               sudo installer -pkg ~/Lazarus-2.2.0-0-x86_64-macosx.pkg -target /
14.               ls -l /usr/local/bin/laz*
15.               ls -l /Library/Lazarus/
16.               cd /usr/local/bin
17.               ./lazbuild ~/Project/TildaDesigner.lpr
18.  

It tells me that there is a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin to /Library/Lazarus/lazbuild but that there is no object /Library/Lazarus.  calling lazbuild fails with lazbuild file not found.

Can anyone help me at all?

TIA


Daniel.

I have achieved some limited success finding that lazbuild has actually been installed into: /Applications/Lazarus/lazbuild

Still trying to get the whole process to complete, however.

The build process now works.  I'll paste the script for those interested.

However, I don't know how to provide a MacOS binary distribution.  I'll see what I can come up with.

1.               pwd

What do you exactly mean by macOS binary distribution?

Software for macOS usually come as app, which is a folder, app with a particular structure with the binary code, libraries, resources and so on. Such an app is usually distributed as a disk image. Lazarus can create such an app folder through the project settings. But in many cases it needs some final tweaking.
