Title: Trunk FPC fails to install on aarch64
Post by: Grahame Grieve on December 02, 2021, 01:27:06 pm
Trev, I've tried following the instructions on https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_macOS to get Lazarus working. Unfortunately I need the trunk version of FPC to get the generics stuff to compile. And that won't install - I followed your instructions and my trunk Lazarus is working fine, but when I install the trunk FPC, I get an error

> git clone -b main https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source.git fpc_main

yep fine

> make distclean all FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcx64 OS_TARGET=darwin CPU_TARGET=aarch64 OPT="-XR/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/"

Yep fine, with a changed path to the latest SDK. Note that I'm on an M1 so aarch64 not x86_64

> sudo make install OS_TARGET=darwin CPU_TARGET=aarch64

fails pretty quickly with:

/Users/grahame/work/lazarus/fpc_main/utils/fpcm/bin/aarch64-darwin/fpcmake -p -Taarch64-darwin Makefile.fpc
make[3]: /Users/grahame/work/lazarus/fpc_main/utils/fpcm/bin/aarch64-darwin/fpcmake: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [fpc_install] Error 1
make[2]: *** [rtl_distinstall] Error 2
make[1]: *** [installbase] Error 2
make: *** [installall] Error 2

/Users/grahame/work/lazarus/fpc_main/utils/fpcm exists, but it doesn't have any sub-directories. I'm not sure where to go next?

MacOSX.sdk should be a soft link to the latest SDK. It is on both my M1 and Intel Mac minis (M1 listing below):

I'll check later today when I get a moment. It may just be that the installation for the development version of FPC is currently broken for aarch64 due to recent changes.

Argh, I just noticed that you used ppcx64 instead of ppca64 in the above command line.

I retraced your steps after fixing that and it installed without issue. You must have missed the note:

Note: When building a native aarch64 Free Pascal Compiler (ppca64) for an Apple Silicon M1 processor Mac, change the CPU_TARGET in the instructions below from x86_64 (Intel 64 bit) to aarch64 (ARM 64 bit - Apple Silicon M1) and change any reference to ppcx64 to ppca64

Sigh, that's embarrassing. I'm sorry I wasted your time with that. I did not miss the note but I only gleaned it's general intent and missed that in the command line.

Now my trunk Lazarus is complaining about not finding fppkg.cfg, and I wasn't sure about how to sort that out, but it seems to run OK without me having to sort it out. Back to working on openSSL... thanks

No worries - it happens to the best of us. I missed it the first few times I read your post.

fppkg is the Free Pascal Packages download program which debuted in FPC 3.0.0. Does fppkg list -l show a list of installed packages? For example:

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]
  1. trev@macmini8 [/Users/trev] $ fppkg list -l
  2. Warning: The directory "//etc/fppkgconf.d/" of the include-mask "//etc/fppkgconf.d/*.conf" does not exist
  3. Name                 fpc            user           Available    
  4. aspell               3.3.1          -              -            
  5. bfd                  3.3.1          -              -
