Lazarus kills on startup

[Davide Gurgone]

hi all,
I'm quite new to lazarus.

Yesterday I successfully ported on mac os x an MS Windows application, but today, after updating sources, lazarus could not start itself.

I can see Lazarus Icon appears and disappears in a few seconds.

Exists a startup log to make a trouble diagnose or, better, someone knows the way to solve it?

Thanks a lot,
Davide.

You can try to launch the lazarus from the Terminal:

Code: [Select]

cd to_lazarus_directory
./Lazarus.app/Contents/MacOS/lazarus

copy all the output here.

Hi,
Thank's a lot for your reply!

I launched lazarus from terminal, it logs a lot of things, than starts itself properly.  I don't know why.

After terminal launch, I opened again lazarus, but now double clicking on icon, than I selected newer project sources.. Now both, Lazarus and my application runs...

I really don't understand...

Ciao, Davide.

Hello all,
i am new to lazarus and have found this post which meets my problem - Lazarus stops immediately after starting.
I have tryed the suggestion from "skalogryz" and tried to start from terminal.

Following output after start:

my-mac-pro:lazarus riko$ ./Lazarus.app/Contents/MacOS/lazarus

my-mac-pro:lazarus riko$

What is this printer??
I have installed 3 printers. But no one with name " "....

Any ideas? Please help....

Thanks riko.

[skalogryz]

1) do you have any printers installed?

2) what's Lazarus version you're using?

3) what's OSX version (intel or powerpc)

The problem is with printer's component. It's expected to be fixed in the trunk (snapshots versions). It could be resolved by rebuilding Lazarus without these components or by installing newer Lazarus version.

Hello,

since i don't know how to rebuild lazarus without the printing components, i have tried somewhat else.

I have installed one of my printers again with the name " "...and guess what...it works...lazarus starts up without an error.
Thank you again...

riko.

[riko]

Ok, I had rejoiced too soon...

1) mac-os renames the " " printer after closeing the systemsettings to "_"...afterwards lazarus stops running again

2) i cant run a simple application from IDE...
a lot of warnings like

Code: [Select]

Afterwards i can only "halt" the project...

Any suggestions?

Since i don't know how to rebuild lazarus without the printing components, i have tried somewhat else.

I have installed one of my printers again with the name " "...and guess what...it works...lazarus starts up without an error.
Thank you again...

1st)  To rebuild the lazarus open Terminal "cd" to Lazarus directroy and run command "make"
this should rebuild the Lazarus, removing Printers components.

However, riko, do you have time and wish to fix the printers bug? I cannot reproduce the error on my Mac. However users are experiencing the problem from time-to-time and it needs to be fixed.

2nd) if you want to run an application from IDE, you can try to switch the debugger off. (environment->Options->Debugger select "none") Otherwise, fixing debugging issues, might require some additional information from you, see this thread: http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,7411.60.html

[riko]

Hello,

yes if i can i will try to fix the problem...how?

[skalogryz]

yes if i can i will try to fix the problem...how?

You'll need to get Lazarus from SVN trunk.

run Terminal and execute following commands there

Code: [Select]

cd ~
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
this will take some time (and internet traffic)
don't close the Terminal. after checkout execute following commands

Code: [Select]

cd lazarus
make
this should build lazarus.
open the newly built IDE with the command:

Code: [Select]

open lazarus.app
in Environment->Files change "Lazarus directory" to "/Users/you_user_name/lazarus"

[riko]

Ok, it's done.

During compile there where a lot of warnings like...

Code: [Select]

ld: warning: unknown stabs type 0xC0 in /Users/riko/Entwicklung/lazarus/components/synedit/units/i386-darwin/synregexpr.o
ld: warning: unknown stabs type 0xE0 in /Users/riko/Entwicklung/lazarus/components/synedit/units/i386-darwin/synregexpr.o

ld: warning: unknown stabs type 0xC0 in /Users/riko/Entwicklung/lazarus/lcl/units/i386-darwin/ldocktree.o

But it startsup now with no error...also the debugger works...i have not changed any code...

[riko]

I have seen some miss behaivior in the editor of the IDE.
If the Antialiasing is switched off and you mark some lines they move...also if you edit the line the characters are destroyed...
