Try using FPCUpDeluxe and install in a user folder.

And you have to switch off GateKeeper.

I am on Catalina and this is very frustrating for me.  I know this is not a paid product and that the developers are doing what they can, but I think that...

• Lazarus can no longer be called cross-platform for the current macOS (Catalina/10.15.x)
  
• There should be a clear warning when attempting to download the macOS version that it's not yet compatible with Catalina
• macOS Catalina users shouldn't have to trust/rely on some questionable and ill-functioning third-party software to install Lazarus/FPC

This stinks for everyone who wants to use Lazarus/FPC on Catalina.

I created and tested it on Catalina.

I install the files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20x86-64/

installation is abort for this programs: LazarusIDE-2.0.6-macos-x86_64.pkg  and fpc-3.0.4-macos-x86_64-laz.pkg

Were you able to install fpc-3.0.4-macos-x86_64-laz.pkg ?

Are there any error messages in /var/log/install.log?

What *exactly* are the problems, because I can not reproduce them...(I did not test cross- compilation yet)

Installing the latest FPC does not work.  It fails with the error: "Install failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the install to fail."

The installer log says this:

It doesn't install.  That's a pretty big problem.

[Thaddy]

Then why do I have it running? And Matthias too? (native, not a VM) Can you check at least your install.log

on its own is not very helpful.

But maybe a case of https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-works-on-my-machine-certification-program/ :

Installing the latest FPC does not work.  It fails with the error: "Install failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the install to fail."

Note for others: This is not an official FPC release. I repackaged it using the x86-64 files from the FPC 3.0.4a release.

That's normal, I didn't specify a background image, nor a readme.

Did you run in a terminal before installing:
xcode-select --install
?

Mattias, please test "Lazarus" in new machine with Catalina!

I installed  in new machine

This Errore when installed "Installing the latest FPC does not work"

Thanks

Mattias, please test "Lazarus" in new machine with Catalina!

Where/how can I get a new machine?

I installed  in new machine 
3) Tools XCode

Did you do "xcode-select --install"?

[willbprog9933]

In my case, yes.  I use the xcode command-line tools for other things, as well.

My attempt at installing came directly from SourceForge.  Did you post a link for a special package?

Thanks

Mattias, please  view images attachments.

Thanks.

cd  fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo chmod +x fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa

run fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.app   
but not correct show setting
abort run fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.app   

open folder  fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.app/Contents/MacOS
and run with mouse fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa

Run is OK

Setting in cross CPU x86_64  and in OS Darwin
finally install fpc stable version

(Lazarus not install of fpcudeluxe)

Lazarus install with source code
