Lazarus tries to load and disappears

[davidshepherd]

Appreciate the help, but I don't know how to interpret the error I got!
Lots of errors, mostly 'command now found', but eventually:

make[1]: -iTO: Command not found

do you have XCode installed?

Yessir, I do.

make
instead of

please post console output of make command here

I believe there was an issue where Intel Mac builds of Lazarus would not work on Intel Mac running 10.4 because of the way it was linked against version 7 of libiconv.2.dylib - 10.4 only has version 5.

0.9.28.2 is still linked against version 7, as is my build of Lazarus from SVN, so I'm not sure that this has been fixed.

Doesn't that depend on the buildsystem/used SDK rather than the source itself? Or is it a dynamic load?

It indeed means that whoever compiled the Lazarus releases did not use the correct SDK to do so. The parameters you have to use are documented on the wiki: http://wiki.freepascal.org/OS_X_Programming_Tips#Compiling_under_10.5_for_10.4_and_below

When compiling from the command line, you have to use them as

OPT="-k-macosx_version_min -k10.4 -XR/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/"

This means that the Makefile cannot find the "fpc" binary. Add /usr/local/bin to your path and try again.

It has been fixed.

Daily snapshots (http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/) should not have the problem.
davidshepherd you can try them.

Lots of 'command not found lines again', and the same lib error methinks.

Thanks for being so helpful though! I need the moral support!

Ah...  okay, did that, same library error at the end, but it did compile some things this time. Woo hoo! (grin)

Try Lazarus daily snapshot.

Delete "/Developer/lazarus/ide/../tools/svn2revisioninc" and try again. It seems that somehow your IDE sources include a version of that tool compiled on a newer system.

Well, I had hope for a minute...  (grin).

BUT, alas, with the latest snapshot, this is the crash log:

Same library error, sigh...

k, then you need to rebuild Lazarus from sources.

open Terminal:

Code: [Select]

cd ~
open -e .profile
open .MacOSX/environment.plist

make sure that /usr/local/bin is added to PATH variable (like in screenshots)

you'll also need to make sure that "fpc" and "ppc386" are present in /usr/local/bin

Code: [Select]

ls /usr/local/bin/*pc*

Reboot Mac (it's necessary after fixing ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist) and try to "make" lazarus again.

Well sir, very interesting.

I did that, and it compiled with 'make'.

It even RAN!

But, popped a button on a form and compiled, and it is doing odd things, like... not becoming visible.
I tried a synedit component, and it showed up the first time, but then lazarus shut down.

So something isn't right yet.

I guess I'd better uninstall everything again and start over with the newest version, rather than updating. something is giving me multiple versions... I'm guessing anyway, since deleting that one file helped get me a laz that didn't disappear with a lib error.

Well, that brought up other interesting things.

All of the info you mentioned is below, but not perhaps with the results you expected...  such as my not having a .profile????  surely it's hidden or something...   at any rate, enjoy. I did.

Oh, the reason the path is right, is I did the path=/usr/local/bin:$path thing in the shell already, before I ran the make.

.profile is optional it's used by Terminal.
can be created and edited with this commands:

Code: [Select]

touch .profile
open -e .profile

You don't have to add anything to .MacOSX/environment.plist unless those settings have to be available in GUI applications as well (and having /usr/local/bin in your path should not be necessary for any GUI application, including Lazarus). Furthermore, you don't have to reboot after modifying that file, logging out and logging back in should be enough.
