Hi.

Im't tired to install and try diferents ways for install Lazarus.

On latest run step by stepp, http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Instal
ling_Lazarus_on_MacOS_X#Installation_using_SVN

(Fink error at  fink install lazarus-aqua  "Failed: no package found
for specification 'lazarus-aqua'!")

Well, with SVN and advertising about FPC version 2.5.X.

Download and install fpc 2.4.4 and compiling fpc with this.

After compiling 6 install, version it's same (2.4.4) but datetime it's
now.

NOTE: on Makefile show this:
[package]
name=fpc
version=2.7.1


On lib
Code: [Select]ls -lisa /usr/local/lib/fpc/
126624072 0 drwxr-xr-x   8 root  wheel   272  1 may  2011 2.4.4
126631520 0 drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel   204 10 dic 13:45 2.7.1
126630737 0 drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel   136  1 may  2011 lexyacc
Well, I go to next step, svn update lazarus and compiling.


Open Lazarus.app

And first big problem..

On /usr/local/lib/fpc are 2.4.4 and 2.7.1

 ls /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.4.4/units/i386-darwin/rtl/system.ppu
/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.4.4/units/i386-darwin/rtl/system.ppu
iSpecka:~ specka$ ls -lisa
/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.4.4/units/i386-darwin/rtl/system.ppu
126625329 1480 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  755095  1 may  2011

iSpecka:~ specka$ ls -lisa

Installing a new version of FPC does not automatically change the
default version. The default version is determined by the symbolic
links for the compiler binaries in /usr/local/bin (ppc386, ppcppc,
ppcx64, ppcppc64, ...).

If you wish to change your default version of FPC to 2.7.1, change the
symbolic links for the compiler binaries to point to the versions
inside the lib/fpc/2.7.1 directory (make sure they actually exist; you
may not have installed 2.7.1 versions of all compiler binaries).

I don't understand anything.

I run step by step manual.

Any on manual speak about links.

Also you say " change the symbolic links for the compiler binaries"
What symbolic links? Where?


When try to compiling with SVN version, fails.

If compiling with version downloaded (binari) after compiling install
new binaries on OLD version.

At this point i don't understand valor of symbolic links if only have
a one version of fpc binaries on my system.

A nice day.

Your ls of "/usr/local/lib/fpc/" shows that you have binaries for both
FPC 2.4.4 and 2.7.1 installed.

In any case, it's probably easier if you simply install FPC 2.6.0RC1
rather than try to compile from svn. The final 2.6.0 will be released
soon, but there are very few changes compared to 2.6.0RC1 and 2.6.0RC1
works almost the same (and you can install the final release over it
once it comes out). Installing 2.6.0RC1 will also make it the default,
so you don't have to manually change any symbolic links.

You can download FPC 2.6.0RC1 from ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/fpc/beta/2.6
.0-rc1/i386-macosx/fpc-2.6.0rc1.intel-macosx.dmg

Edit: and the source code, for Lazarus, from ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/fp
c/beta/2.6.0-rc1/sources/fpc-2.6.0rc1.source.tar.gz (make sure to
change the settings in Lazarus under Tools -> Options -> Environment
-> FPC source directory to point to the place where you decompressed
that file with the sources)

What manual did you use?
Where is the manual for installing on Mac?
