Title: My app won't run on anything below 10.13 - build error in FPC or Lazarus or me?
Post by: MISV on February 27, 2019, 02:59:43 am
I have a OSX Yosemite user who reported this error to me:

Quote
You can't use this version of the application "Example.app" with this version of OS X.

You have OSX 10.10.5. The application requires OS X 10.13 or later.

...

I am building with this setup:

...

In "Project - Project Options" I have done the following the all "Bulid modes":

Added the following to "Compiler Options - Custom options"

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. if TargetOS = 'darwin' then
  2.   begin
  3.     UsageCustomOptions += ' -WM10.6';
  4.   end
  5. ;

...

Searching for an explanation (across all development tools) gave results like this


...

Can anyone duplicate this problem when buildin apps on newer macOS/Lazarus versions - and then try run them on old macOS versions?

Since my current "Custom Options" solution is not working - could I try something different along the lines of the SO post?

I am actually happy targeting just 10.10+ (but if possible to target 10.6+ or 10.7+ great!)

I wonder if you also need to have the older SDK installed with your xcode

You don't need the older SDK.

Can you go To Project -> Project Options and then click on the "Show Options" button at the bottom to ensure the -WM10.6 is passed to the compiler?

Additionally, the dialog box you get from the Finder actually comes from the Info.plist included in the application bundle. Your application probably contains this inside the Info.plist:
Code: [Select]
        <key>LSMinimumSystemVersion</key>
        <string>10.13</string>

Try changing that to 10.10 (or 10.6).

Maybe I should try dump all the code in "custom options" and simply write "-WM10.6"

I have a separate project files for my Mac versions anyhow and I know I will be using Cocoa 64bit

Maybe worth a try?

I will. However, I think I have found two bugs in Lazarus/FPC

But essentially using

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. if TargetOS = 'darwin' then
  2.   begin
  3.     UsageCustomOptions += ' -WM10.6';
  4.   end
  5. ;

does not seem to work correctly and instead the entire code is added to parameters when using the "Show options" button.

And if I in custom options instead add

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. -WM10.6

I get linker error

...

But when I get the above working, I will send the user a new version with the above fixed? + with info.plist file defining LSMinimumSystemVersion

First of all, make sure you're using -WM10.6 and not -VM10.6

Additionally, there's a bug in current Lazarus versions that makes it not show all linker errors. Try executing the compilation command from a terminal window to see what the linker error is.

It seems I am having problems using the compiler from command line. I am essentially copy and pasting what I see in "Show options" (without any of the checkboxes checked):

Try adding the main source file of your project (probably xxx.lpr) at the end of the command line (including its full path).

Did you run the FPC 3.0.4a installer after upgrading to macOS 10.14? macOS 10.14 requires changes to fpc.cfg, which are performed by the FPC 3.0.4a installer when installing on that OS version (note that the compiler version will still be 3.0.4, as the compiler binary in the 3.0.4a package has not changed).

Apple likes to change everything around every blue moon. I try to keep up with that in the official FPC installers, but other tools may not do so. It _is_ a pain.

The only thing that matters is what I asked: did you install FPC using the FPC 3.0.4a installer since you updated to macOS 10.14? If not, please do so.

Quote

No.

Quote
And is this an issue that should be reported to FPCUpDeluxe?
I don't know. It depends on whether they want to support only building a new FPC version, or also completely configuring it.

Quote

That is fine if you only want to support 10.8 and later. That version indeed does not require a custom crt*.o file.

Please quote the exact errors, because a lot depends on which files these warnings are about.

about dylib

That is again because you have not used the FPC 3.0.4a installer to update your fpc.cfg for macOS 10.14
Title: Re: My app won't run on anything below 10.13 - build error in FPC or Lazarus or me?
Post by: MISV on February 27, 2019, 11:51:04 pm
Okay - I just ran fpc-3.0.4a.intel-macosx.pkg

Using the command line from before I get the same error as before. (crt1.10.6.o not found)

... However, I suppose that is because the command line I use point to the FPC installed by fpcupdeluxe ... (the fpc.sh file it uses points it to its own fpc.cfg file)

I don't know where installer put FPC, but sofar I can see:

lib part placed at /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.4
doc part placed at /usr/local/share/doc/fpc-3.0.4
source demos placed at /usr/local/share/src/fpc-3.0.4/demo

there appears to be
compiler /usr/local/bin/fpc

...

If I understand you correctly - 3.0.4a and 3.0.4 difference is the fpc.cfg file....?

However searching my Mac for fpc.cfg does not reveal its location

Somehow I feel that I should be able to locate fpc.cfg search "my mac" and "usr"... I need to get some sleep - maybe that will help :)

...

Just for reference - Jonas Maebe in a later post explains where to find fpc.cfg:

Quote
fpc.cfg is in /etc/fpc.cfg (/etc is the default directory for global configuration files on Unix-like systems).

Another thing to check: did you reinstall the Xcode command line tools after upgrading to macOS 10.14? They used to get removed on upgrading and then you were prompted to install them on first use, but I'm not sure this is still the case. To install them, run "sudo xcode-select --install" in a terminal window.

fpc.cfg is in /etc/fpc.cfg (/etc is the default directory for global configuration files on Unix-like systems).

I'm currently on my 10.14 laptop, so I can show you the change that gets added for 10.14:

Code: [Select]
#ifdef cpui386
-Fl/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib
#endif
#ifndef cpui386
#ifndef cpupowerpc
#ifndef cpupowerpc64
-XR/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
#endif
#endif
#endif

However, as those paths imply, these directories only get created once you install the command line tools. crt*.o used to be also installed in /usr/lib on previous macOS versions, but that is no longer the case.

Post by: MISV on February 28, 2019, 04:01:07 pm
I always update command line tools as first thing :)

I am going to

1)
Settle for targeting 10.8+

2)
However - the warnings still worry me, so I will still try implement the suggestions you have regarding plist.info and fpc.cfg (thank you)

I will probably return to this thread later today regarding that. (Trying out things now)

...

A least I think I have found at least one bug - using conditional code in "Project options - custom options" fails / is ignored by Lazarus. That part was solved by simply using:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. -WM10.8

...

I also reported the issue to FPCUpDeluxe and got a response, but I am not fully sure if the response solves the issue

This seems to be FPCUpDeluxe-specific, as when targeting Darwin/x86-64, FPC normally compiles everything for macOS 10.6 when nothing is specified. In any case, it doesn't really matter, because the compiler does not generate different code when targeting macOS 10.13 than when targeting 10.8 (at this time).

That is because the used fpc.cfg does not contain the search paths added by the FPC 3.0.4a installer. Perhaps FPCUpDeluxe generates a .fpc.cfg file in your home directory that does not include the global /etc/fpc.cfg file.

Try adding -va to the compiler options to see what configuration file gets loaded and what options it contains. In general, I can't really help you further. I make the official FPC installer and configuration file as resilient as possible, but I can't do anything if those get completely ignored.

You can actually also work around the issue by specifying those parameters directly on the command line.

When compiling for i386, add -Fl/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib

When compiling for x86-64, add -XR/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

I'd still be interested to know whether and if so how FPCUpDeluxe causes the root issue though.

Fpcupdeluxe will perform an isolated install of FPC (and Lazarus).
It uses its own fpc.cfg, located in the install-directory.
And tries to make it work on as many systems as possible.

The global fpc.cfg will not be used, to prevent issues between different installs.

As maintainer, I have limited resources to test. At the moment, I use a VM (on Win10) with OSX 10.14 to test the functionality of fpcupdeluxe.

Besides, I always advice to use the official sources, binaries, installers when available !
And use fpcupdeluxe only for special demands.

The fpcupdeluxe binaries themselves are all made on a Win10-system by cross-compiling.

I am very interested and eager for any advice that can make fpcupdeluxe better !

How do you ensure that it does not get used? Additionally, how do you create your own fpc.cfg? If you use the fpcmkcfg of the newly installed compiler, your configuration file should work just as well as the default one (it's generated by the same program) and contain all necessary directives.

On all unix-like-systems, FPC is launched by a script.

The script:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. # This script starts the fpc compiler installed by fpcup
  2. # and ignores any system-wide fpc.cfg files
  3. # Note: maintained by fpcup; do not edit directly, your edits will be lost.
  4. /installdir/"moredirs"/fpc -n @/installdir/"moredirs"/fpc.cfg "$@"

Fpcupdeluxe uses fpcmkcf to generate a config.
And makes some changes to accomodate for the install-directory and cross-compilers.

I have changed fpcupdeluxe not to use -WM10.14 for 10.14, but to use -WM10.8 on anything >=10.8

New release will follow soon.

Okay.

Then I don't understand why it does not contain the -Fl/-XR lines when generated on macOS 10.14.

Why do you force the target FPC version to be something different from the default? This makes support harder (as shown by this thread), and I'm not aware of any advantages. At most it hides issues caused by an incomplete fpc.cfg on macOS 10.14.

Not 100% sure if reletaed, but I think it is:

I updated command line tools - and now instead of (before this thread) getting:

Quote
ld: warning: URGENT: building for OSX, but linking against dylib (/usr/lib//libiconv.dylib) built for (unknown). Note: This will be an error in the future.

I now (without having made changes to my Lazarus setup) seem to be getting

I am getting the same error when downloading lazarus/fpc trunk (and I think stable as well) using fpcupdeluxe:

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,34645.msg315595.html#msg315595 (https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,34645.msg315595.html#msg315595)

(Hopefully we can help each other getting this permanently solved. I personally like solutions like fpcupdeluxe because it helps ease installation and keep completely separate installations of lazarus - i.e. stable, trunk etc. As I understand the issue - it should be possible to solve - I would like to volunteer testing if that helps anything)

@Jonas

Do you have any idea how to solve this? the .cfg file already contains the patch

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. #ifdef cpui386
  2. -Fl/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib
  3. #endif
  4. #ifndef cpui386
  5. #ifndef cpupowerpc
  6. #ifndef cpupowerpc64
  7. -XR/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
  8. #endif
  9. #endif
  10. #endif

So I think something more is needed to solve the error

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. ld: malformed file
  2. /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib//libiconv.tbd:4:18: error: unknown enumerated scalar
  3. platform:        zippered
  4.                  ^~~~~~~~
  5.  file '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib//libiconv.tbd'

I just updated my laptop to 10.4.4 and the command line tools to 10.2 (clang --version returns clang-1000.11.45.5). I can compile fine both for i386 and x86-64.

Try compiling with -va to check that the fpc.cfg that includes those lines gets actually used. Also check that -FD/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin is present and gets used.

Thank you

Adding
Quote
-FD/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
seems to have done the trick.

I missed it was useful/neccessary if having done the fpc.cfg changes

I will report back if I encounter further issues (release builds etc.)
