[Solved] 2.2.0 will not compile on macOS, Error: Id: framework not found Cocoa
(1/1)
ArminLinder:
After having been Mac-absent for a couple of months now, I tried to do a quick installation of the latest Lazarus 2.2.0 on macOS Big Sur. Failed. the Lazarus and FPC packages installed fine, but when trying to compile anything, including the IDE, the process fails, and this is the log (e.g. when trying to rebuild Lazarus (normal IDE))
Build IDE: Exit code 2, Errors: 3
Error: ld: framework not found Cocoa
An error occurred while linking
Error: Error while linking
make[2]: *** [lazarus] Error 1
make[1]: *** [idepkg] Error 2
Error: make: *** [idepkg] Error 2
Bah. Yes, the Xcode-Tools are installed. Proof:
xcode-select --install says:
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install update
and xcode-select -v says:
xcode-select version 2384
and xcode-select -p says
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
and ls -R /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools lists tons of files.
Mac pros ... any ideas?
Armin.
P.S. More Info:
I switched the program (which btw is the auto-generated empty unit Unit1; program) to qt, qt5, gtk2 ... all fail as well.

Hi,
I have an urgend problem: I needed to compile an old program of mine for the Mac. I installed MacOS Big Sur in a VM, installed the XCode-Tools and the Lazarus and FPC packages.
Lazarus starts fine, but as soon as I try to compile anything, the build process breaks:
Compile Project, Target: /Users/linder-mac11/tmp/project1: Exit code 1, Errors: 2
Error: ld: framework not found Cocoa
An error occurred while linking
Error: Error while linking
The standard assumption about what's wrong seems to be that the XCode Command Line tools are missing, I installed it and verified the installation in various ways (e.g. xcode-select -v
responding "xcode-select version 2384", executed clang -v, gcc -v, git -v -- all of these display some info so they are installed), so I came to the conclusion that the issue is caused by something else.

If I execute the above fpc command in a terminal, I get:

Seems to be an issue with the linker. Is there more logging available somewhere so I can possibly find out more about what exactly is failing?
Thnx, Armin.
Jonas Maebe:
Is the target architecture set to x86-64 (as opposed to i386)? And/or is the compiler in Lazarus set to either /usr/local/bin/fpc or "/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcx64 (as opposed to /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppc386)?
trev:
Check your /etc/fpc.cfg for -XR and -Fl options.
In /etc/fpc.cfg you should have:
-XR/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
-Fl/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib
If the Wiki instructions are followed, all this should already exist. If they don't, then I'd uninstall and start again.
ArminLinder:
Resolved.
Since it was a VM, I reset it to a snapshot taken before installing Lazarus and the XCode tools, and tried again. I swear, I used the same packages, and did everything in exactly the same order, like shown in the Wiki.
This time, I succeeded.
This is good, because I can start working now, and bad, since the cause of the issue cannot be found any more.
Thanks for your attempts to help,
Armin.
