assembler not found after SL upgrade

[mbohn]

After upgrading to SL 10.6.1 I get the following when trying to run my project:

Error: Assembler as not found, switching to external assembling

Where is the assembler and where do I specify its location?

I assumed I don't need to reinstall xcode.

I also had a problem with the debugger not being specified even tho it was in the Environment - Options - Debugger section.  I "re-found" it and that error has gone.

I assumed I don't need to reinstall xcode.

This assumption is wrong. Xcode 3.1.x only works on Mac OS 10.5.x, as mentioned in their release notes. The Mac OS X 10.6 installer deletes the globally installed Xcode 3.1.x utilities (such as the assembler) when upgrading you system, to prevent problems caused by forgetting to upgrade Xcode.

You must install Xcode 3.2, which comes with Mac OS X 10.6. Ensure that you keep support for UNIX development enabled when installing it.

Thanks!

Now I can resume project development with my new debugger.  It's called ShowMessage.

Error: Assembler as not found, switching to external assembling

Hi all,

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have the same problem when trying to compile a project in Lazarus.
However, I have already installed Xcode 3.2.

What do I need to do to solve this?


best regards,

Did you allow "support for unix development" as described above?

Not sure, but that's probably the solution indeed. Is this option shown during the setup of Xcode?
Do I have to reinstall Xcode, or is there another way to do this?

[mbohn]

Yes, it is a check box when you install xcode from the Apple disk.  It is no problem just to pop the disk in and install it again.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
I hope it's safe to do so (having other projects in Xcode), just installing it again without removing first (?).

It didn't cause any problems for me.
