FPC 3.2.2 / iOS cross compiler missing for macOS
« on: September 05, 2024, 12:59:10 pm »
Hello, I cannot get iOS cross compiler for FPC 3.2.2 from the official downloads for macOS. This one is missing, even though is announced:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Mac%20OS%20X/3.2.2/

Why is that? Is it some minor glitch, or is there something more important behind this? Thanks

BTW: I found it mentioned on "Recent activity", but the link is broken

Maybe use FPCUpDeluxe?

Maybe Alfredo could give you some help with that.
Looks convoluted enough

One System to rule them all, One Code to find them,
One IDE to bring them all, and to the Framework bind them,
in the Land of Redmond, where the Windows lie

Code is like a joke: If you have to explain it, it's bad

Yes, fpcupdeluxe solves this, but the missing official download is strange. I always preferred the official installation method.

---
Temp solution: I compiled the cross-compiler with fpcupdeluxe, and then copied the units subfolders (aarch64-ios, x86_64-iphonesim) to default installation path (/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.2.2/units)

You should be able to build a new IOS compiler and run time library using the existing one.  Sorry, I have no idea of the options to give for IOS however.  Be nice to know.
