Error while linking

[simac]

I've a prolblem: when i press "run" Lazarus write me the message "ERROR WHILE LINKING".
Why??

I use Lazarus on Mac OSX (10.5.8).

Thanks!

Copy all (including hidden) messages from the messages view to a text editor. Maybe the hidden messages give more information why linking failed.

Can you help me now?
Thanks!

Make sure you have the correct Xcode installed. It almost looks like maybe you have an older version of Xcode.

Thanks.

Xcode 2.2

[Phil]

I don't think that's the versiopn that came with 10.5. Try installing developer tools from your 10.5 dist. disk.

La build del progetto "project1" è stata completata con successo. :)

Why?

[Vincent Snijders]

Because the linker doesn't understand some debug info. It is relatively harmless. If you want to avoid it, recompile the LCL with dwarf debug info. (-gw compiler option).

[skalogryz]

simac: You have the project compiled, and "warnings about incorrect STABS symbols" are not shown by Lazarus. So i guess, your problem is solved.
