Hi
I'm trying to compile package zdbc from ZeosLib on MacOS and receive some linker errors
Do you know what could be the issue and how can be handled.

Regards

Lazarus 3.7 (rev lazarus_3_6-1-g62bcb0a627) FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-darwin-cocoa

I am having the same problem. I wonder if it in some way may be related to macOS 15. Just installed it. I have never seen this error before.
Hoping for help! 🙏

Lazarus 3.4, ZeosLib 8.0, macOS 15, MBP2022-M1.

Kind regards
TorB. 😊

I am having a similar issue on macOS 14.7.2 and Lazarus 3.8. Any news?

I don't know if the same can apply to the OP but, in my case the problem was the usage of labels/goto in one of the units of the project. Removing them with proper structured flow constructs solved the problem. I can confirm that the problem arised only with recent versions of xcode tools. I am unable to track it exactly but looks like it appeared with a recent upgrade of xcode tools.

clicker-o-click around and it should be possible to keep an eye on it yourself. Better yet, in case having a gitlab account drop your thumbsup to the report.

I am curious if this was ever resolved. I have this problem currently and I have been trying to resolve it. I am on MacOS 15.3.1. FPC 3.2.2. Lazarus 3.8. Both FPC and Lazarus were installed using the compiled binaries and not from source. I am installing Zeos using the online package manager.

Other online packages install fine (e.g., fpspreadsheet), but no luck on Zeos.

Thanks,
Bill

Some info here.
Looks like a big issue.
