Title: Installation XCode is not recognized by installer
Post by: Asqan on November 12, 2019, 12:49:05 pm: I'm trying to install the Free Pascal Compiler for Intel 3.0.5

Althouth XCode and Xcode its command line tools are already installed (which I already use and which was already recognized by some other installations), it is not recognized by the installer of Free Pascal:

Is there any workaround to avoid this error? Is there something like PATH we have to set like in Windows?

ps: 3.0.4 of the Free Pascal Compiler for Intel 3.0.5 gives the following error at installation:

This package is incompatible with this version of macOS.
The package is trying to install content to the system volume. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I'm curious why it is compatible. For 64 bit mac OS of 10.15.X, it should be normally compatible according to the installation documentation of lazarus:

You seem to be using Catalina. I do not believe there is an FPC installation for Catalina as yet. The latest FPC release is 3.0.4. The next FPC release, version 3.2, is planned for later this year.

32 bit installer app (Catalina does not support any 32 bit apps)? Trying to write to Catalina's read-only system volume? Take your pick, or maybe all.

Have you setup Lazarus to use 64 bit?

1. Tools>Options>Files Set the compiler to ppcX64
2. Project>Options>Config and Target> set to x86-x64
3. Project>Options>Config and Target> set WidgetSet to Cocoa
