Lazarus IDE with Cocoa wont run using latest trunk

[MISV]

I am having a problem with the trunk release today. After downloading darwin 64 bit with cocoa default I get this error log when trying to Launch Lazarus:

I am having a problem with the trunk release today. After downloading darwin 64 bit with cocoa default I get this error log when trying to Launch Lazarus:

I see the same bug. From the backtrace, you can see that it occurs in TCocoaTabControl.exttabInsertTabViewItem_atIndex. AIndex is out of range (3, in range 0..0). Report it in bugtracker. That file was modified within the last couple days, so a new bug was probably introduced.

This problem appears to have been fixed in trunk.

Problem is kinda back

Just downloaded trunk using fpcupdeluxe- 12th July 2018

Lazarus gives arithmetic error when starting and on many other occasions...

In past solution has sometimes been to rebuild using
"Tools - Build Lazarus with Profile: Normal IDE"

But if I do that I get access violations so... no workaround possib

I'm not seeing the problem here. Just updated from SVN and rebuilt Laz IDE.

Maybe the problem is in fpcupdeluxe. Try just compiling the SVN source yourself.

make LCL_PLATFORM=cocoa CPU_TARGET=x86_64

[VTwin]

I'm also having difficulty getting Mac trunk running. I already have 1.8.4 installed. Following:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_MacOS_X

I'm trying:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. cd Developer
2. svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk laz_trunk
3. cd laz_trunk
4. make clean all

and I get the following errors:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ...
2. carbondef.pp(187,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
3. Fatal: Compilation aborted
4. make[3]: *** [../lcl.ppu] Error 1
5. make[2]: *** [carbon_all] Error 2
6. make[1]: *** [interfaces] Error 2
7. make: *** [lcl] Error 2

I'd appreciate any advice.

Cheers,
VTwin

EDIT: I should listen to Phil

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. make LCL_PLATFORM=cocoa CPU_TARGET=x86_64

I'm still puzzled by the configuration dialog that pops up: Update, Ignore, Abort. I think Update is correct?

[Phil]

I'd appreciate any advice.

make LCL_PLATFORM=cocoa CPU_TARGET=x86_64

https://macpgmr.github.io/MacXPlatform/UsingCocoaFromTrunk.html

[VTwin]

Thanks Phil,

Sorry for being so dense. I'm thinking then that Update is not the right option if I want to have two separate installations. Is Abort correct? 

Cheers,
VTwin

[Phil]

I don't think I've ever seen that prompt. Is that the make command that's giving it? Type make help to see options.

[VTwin]

I don't think I've ever seen that prompt. Is that the make command that's giving it? Type make help to see options.

That was the message after using the command line you suggested.

make LCL_PLATFORM=cocoa CPU_TARGET=x86_64

Here is the message:

[VTwin]

make help gives:

Main targets
                  Without any target, target 'all' will be invoked.
   all            build all needed, i.e. minimal IDE, lazbuild, startlazarus.
   clean          deletes files that 'bigide' creates. It does not clean up all possible
                  targets. Clean other target: make clean LCL_PLATFORM=qt
   distclean      Clean all targets and common leftovers.
   lazbuild       build lazbuild and lcl with nogui widgetset
   bigide         as all, except that the IDE is built with a lot of extra packages
   useride        calls lazbuild to build an IDE with your active profile, requires lazbuild
   install        installs Lazarus under /usr/local/share/lazarus
                  You can change the directory by appending INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path

 Sub targets
   registration   build package FCL
   lazutils       build package LazUtils, requires registration
   codetools      build package CodeTools, requires lazutils
   lcl            build package LCLBase and LCL, requires lazutils
   tools          build lazres, svn2revisioninc, updatepofiles, lrstolfm,
                  requires LCL with nogui widgetset
   basecomponents build debuggerintf, lazdebuggergdbmi, lazcontrols, synedit, ideintf
                  for the LCL_PLATFORM, requires lcl
   bigidecomponents build many extra packages for the LCL_PLATFORM, requires basecomponents
   lhelp          build lhelp, requires bigidecomponents
   starter        build startlazarus, requires basecomponents
   examples       build basic examples, requires basecomponents
                  Note: There are more examples having their own directory

 Flags:
   PP=/path/to/fpc        use another compiler
   USESVN2REVISIONINC=0   do not update ide/revision.inc
   INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr    used by 'install' as path prefix
   FPC_DIR=/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.0.4   used by fpcmake when regenerating Makefiles
   OPT='-vwnbq -gh'       append these options when calling the compiler

 Usage examples:

 Updating svn and build a minimal IDE, startlazarus and lazbuild:
   make clean
   svn up
   make clean all

 Note: You can start lazarus with 'startlazarus'
 Note: Use the IDE or lazbuild to compile your projects/packages.

 Updating svn and build an IDE with your last set of packages:
   make clean
   svn up
   make clean lazbuild useride

 Clean up:
  There is no command to clean up a svn repository completely, but
  you can use the following command under Linux/OS X:
  svn status | grep '\?' | sed -e 's/\? *//' | xargs rm -r

  Another possibility is to create a clean copy via the svn export command.

 Install:
   Note: You can use Lazarus without installing. Just start the lazarus executable.
   1. Build Lazarus as normal user with one of the above commands.
   2. Install as root into /usr
          sudo make install
      This installs startlazarus, lazarus-ide, lazbuild under /usr/bin
      and copies the whole lazarus source directory to /usr/share/lazarus

Here is the message:

Ah, you weren't clear. That's what you see after you run Lazarus, not after you run make. See this for how to run Lazarus without messing with your old config:

Thanks Phil,

That seems to have done the trick. I was able to get a basic application to run. I'll do further testing and will try to do some bug reports.

[VTwin]

Thanks Phil,

Is it possible to make the command:

open lazarus.app --args "--pcp=~/.laz_trunk"

an alias? Again, my ignorance shows, but I assume others may also be struggling with trying to run Lazarus trunk on Mac. I greatly appreciate your help.

Cheers,

Phil, I will try.

Are you also using the newest macOS version?
