>macOS 64bit failed, but reported it was installed.

I posted issue about failed Mac cross-compiler, here
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/issues/604

[AlexTP]

Currently we have broken Mac AArch64 cross-compiler. It is blocker for users of my text editor.

Dont compile omn ARM the latest version.

Please see the image

To be honest, when I couldn't get 2.4.0a to build cross compilers, I tried an older version with the same result.
I can get them to build the main compiler on my M2, and only the Windows and Linux 64 bit cross compilers. All others failed.

Is there a noob way to use this noob tool in Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Linux Mate)

I mean I seem not to find Fpcupdeluxe eg with Synaptics and in git repository the Fpcupdeluxe installation files seems to be some well advanced linking files or something requiring to open the hood of the OS, moving thing around, giving privileges, creating system folders etc. etc..

Do I misunderstand something here? Thank you in advance whoever could give some light to this mystery of mine.

Edit. Removed everything (FPC+LAZ..) with Synapse, followed the link from this thread to get the .deb packages (of LAZ.. + FPC) and installed without issues. No need for Fpcupdeluxe even if the cryptic lazarus wiki gives impression this tool to be "Noob friendly". https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,62770.0.html
My issue was that there is/was cryptic issues with the Depian/Ubuntu repository version of Lazarus.

Download the executable and run it, see also wiki.

Look for things at the right/correct place ?

eg with Synaptics and

You mean, your operating system's package manager ? That is a good example to look for fpcupdeluxe at the wrong place.

in git repository the Fpcupdeluxe installation files seems to be some well advanced linking files or something requiring to open the hood of the OS, moving thing around, giving privileges, creating system folders etc. etc..

What advanced linking files ? Do you perhaps mean you do not have the dependencies/prerequisites installed ? Also mentioned on the github page of fpcupdeluxe btw.

There is no mystery, just documentation that should be read.

Question: how can one populate the revision history in FPCUPDeluxe (the quickest, preferably without doing an actual build as I seem to be missing something ?)

On an Apple M2, I can't get any version working - cross compiler wise. On Apple Intel, all versions I've tried work. So, I've got the main Lazarus installers from the mainstream Lazarus download page on my M2 MacBook Pro while using FPUpDeluxe on my Intel Mac Mini for cross compiling.

Hello @DonAlfredo ,
I posted this issue
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,63867.msg489585.html#msg489585

The lazarus 3RC1 do not compile with FPC trunk.
Thanks.

[DonAlfredo]

The latest version of Lazarus (3RC1) is meant to be used with the latest FPC stable. That is FPC 3.2.2.
Errors with FPC trunk (main) are to be expected, as this is a very rapid changing version.
So, AFAIK, this is not a fpcupdeluxe issue.

[BSaidus]

@DonAlfredo.
Yes I know that, After investigation, I found that it is corrected under :
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tree/fixes_3_0?ref_type=heads
So, can I add entry to point this REPO on fpcupdeluxe ?
Thanks.

[DonAlfredo]

I do not know the details of the RC release cycles of Lazarus, but I guess that these changes will be included in 3RC2.
So, if you want to test the RC of Lazarus, you need to wait for 3RC2.

[BSaidus]

Ok, thanks.

I get the following when trying to install the laz_synapse package with fpcupdeluxe (Ubuntu 18.04.6 x64):

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. fpcupdeluxe: info: Universal Installer (InstallPackage): Error trying to add package laz_synapse. Details:
2. fpcupdeluxe: WARNING: Universal Installer (InstallPackage): Error while installing package /home/david/fpcupdeluxe/ccr/synapse/laz_synapse.lpk.
3.

5. SUCCESS: installation by fpcupdeluxe complete !

I have tried using an old library of synapse instead but I cannot http get from sites with ssl

Any pointers to the right direction on how to solve this are appreciated.
