Compiling Lazarus from source code

[PetrHlozek]

Hi,

I just cloned the main branch of the lazarus repository from gitlab and tried to compile it with:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. make clean all LCL_PLATFORM=cocoa bigide

Unfortunately the linking process ended with this error:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

I tried to Google it but nothing useful. Do you know what I do wrong, please? Thanks a lot.

Why use google when we (the forum software) have our own search ?

Have a look at the macos subforum and be amazed how much issues (including yours) related to macos (especially Mx/aarch64) are mentioned.

Oh, that's a lot of issues!

It seems I have to wait until apple fixes the bug .

[TRon]

Nothing to do with Apple... well ... they had the urge to change things therefor fpc/lazarus needs to accommodate.

Please read through this thread for a workaround (hint skip through to last page for the literal workaround instructions).

At least it will be able to fix the issue as you reported (no idea about the others).

If not mistaken the option can be provided on the build command-line with FPCOPT=xxx (it might also be OPT=xxx) where xxx is the options or options that are passed to the compiler (use double quotes for multiple options).

I used this solution:

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,70698.msg553691.html#msg553691

On my system, the fpc.cfg was located in

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. /private/etc/fpc.cfg

Now it works, Lazarus is compiled and running. There are some issues but it runs and compiles my application. Unfortunately it crashes just after start but I'll create a new thread for that.

I used this solution:

The my suggested solution does the same thing as ^^ that solution^^ but from the command-line for single use during the build.

Nothing wrong by making it permanent but to let know it is the same thing
