OK, I'm too dumb for installing - any help appreciated
« on: March 26, 2014, 05:27:05 pm »
Hey there

Trying to install, I downloaded everything (I guess) necessary and keep on getting these kind of errors. What's wrong with me, uhm... my setup?
Thx in advance... (Yes, it's german, sorry for that, but maybe you can figure it out anyway).

Please provide information regarding your Mac OS X version and the Lazarus version you intend to install.

Did you read http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_MacOS_X?

Yes, I read those things and tried my very best. Unfortunately I didn't find anything matching my prob. My OS X ist 10.9.2 and I intend to install Lazarus 1.2 (latest ed. afaik) i.e. lazarus-1.2.0-20140301-i386-macosx along with fpc-2.6.4.intel-macosx.
But this msg keeps prompting. Thx for your help...

Oh I see, this question was too dumb now.
You see, I have already tried to install all of what is necessary, including fpcsrc and so on. But this error msg keeps popping up. How can I install these progs in a way they will work? Do I have to do a clean uninstall first and then try to reinstall everything, and if in which sequence? fpc then fpcsrc then lazarus? Or more like lazarus - fpcsrc - fpc or...
It starts to feel a little like the good old Windows world where everything is so complicated :(

gdb seems to be missing, too. Did you install Xcode and the command line utilities? The use of the Debugger (gdb) can be switched on in the preferences of Lazarus.

Hi MiSchi

Uh... Xcode. I see. No, I did not install it. Excuse me for a second, I will do so ;) and come back to you.

In addition to that you should check the paths as displayed in the preferences window.

Usually, the correct path to FPC is /usr/local/bin/ppc386 for Intel-based Macs or /usr/local/bin/ppcppc for PPC-based Macs, respectively.

These two infos seem to be helpful. I'll give it a try next time I'm in the office.
But: afair the path you posted was ok on my machine. I followed it earlier and found the compete installation but the required INI-file. So I created an empty one to see what lazarus says. It came up with the same error: ini-file not found :(

Say, isn't there any complete installation or setup file which does all the tricks necessary? Why is it like "Download this with version that, then download this with version that, now use this with version...". I know I'm too dumb for all of this. But I just want to get it running and then finally start programming on that machine.

I'll let you know what came out on this...
Thx

Is that helpful??
