Building Lazarus on MacOS X
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

After spending much of today on this I finally figured out how to
build Lazarus on MacOS X.  It was very gratifying to see Lazarus come
up under X11.  I compiled a simple form and executed it.  It worked
fine.  I compiled another form and tried to run it and Lazarus locked
up.  I killed the X11 session.  Lazarus won't start now.  Hmmm.

Anyone think of some file lock or something I need to fix??
 Suggestions?

Also the build of startlazarus failed - see below.  To all the Lazarus
developers out there - Wow! what a great product!  Thanks.

Well after doing some reading and thinking I found that if I erase the
contents of the .lazarus directory in my Home directory then Lazarus
will start back up again.

I'm finding that under MacOS X Lazarus is locking up quite frequently.
 After a lock up I usually have to erase the contents of .lazarus

There was a bug in saving controls with custom data, like TImage. That
was fixed.

But I wonder about the hang up and remove of the .lazarus directory.
Can you start lazarus in gdb and send me the backtrace?
[]$ cd /your/lazarus/path/
[]$ gdb lazarus
break FPC_RAISEEXCEPTION
run

When lazarus hangs, focus the terminal and press Ctrl+C to stop the
program via gdb.
Then output the backtrace in gdb:

bt

OK.  Will try gdb tonight.

OK...Lazarus hung up again.  Here's the backtrace.  BTW, I grabbed the
latest source tonight and rebuilt before running this experiment.
