Reposted from https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,69059.0.html due to lack of response :o
I first tried downloading from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20macOS%20aarch64/Lazarus%204.0RC1/lazarus-darwin-aarch64-4.0RC1.zip/download but running that from both the startlazarus loader and the lazarus.app bundle gave me the error “lazarus.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin."
I then downloaded the source to Lazarus 4.0RC1 and placed the files in /Applications/Lazarus_4.0. I then used FcpUpDeluxe to install a separate copy of fcp 3.3.1 in /Applications/fcp, added it to the system path, and restarted my terminal session. Finally, I CDed into /Applications/Lazarus_4.0 and ran make clean bigide. It came up with this...

Following the README.md, I followed the instructions on what to do if that gave me any error, and ran make clean all. That gave me exactly the same error.
Has anyone actually managed to install Lazarus 4.0 CR1 on macOS aarch64?
Martin_fr:
Ok, I don't know Mac. But there are some generic issues.
And it looks like the fpc install is not correct. Or not entirely.
You are reading two fpc.cfg files. That isn't wrong, but unusual. You said you used fpcupdeluxe => afaik that creates a local fpc.cfg file. I am not even sure if that should be in your user dir, or in the folder that you used with fpcupdeluxe.
So at least one of the 2 fpc.cfg files are likely from another installed fpc. And that means the paths to the ppu containing folders in that/those fpc.cfg don't work with 3.3.1.
You can simply try be removing them (after backup).
You can also check where they point and if that makes any sense to you.

Actually, IIRC fpcupdeluxe writes some script that wraps fpc but adds params to the conf. Not sure though...

Thanks for the reply @Martin_fr!
I discovered what was wrong with my initial install. The Lazarus.app bundle was there but the lazarus executable that the lazarus.app links to was missing. I guess I was careless in the copying of the downloaded folder to its destination.
I've now got Lazarus 4.0RC1 running. The next question is what is the easiest way of copying my color configs, key mappings and code templates from 3.99?

Copy the config dir from your existing Lazarus to a new dir, point your new Lazarus to it (using lazarus.cfg, --pcp=xxx) and then, in the new lazarus directory, run "make useride", that will build a newer still lazarus, one with all your settings if possible. Then, start Lazarus, it will prompt you to update that config, say "yes" (after checking i really is the new config).
