Guys,
I'm jumping up to the latest xcode 12.5to be able to develop on iOs 14.x My trusty old FPC 3.0.5 worked just fine for iOs Target. But the simulator is a different story...

Showing All Messages
ld: building for iOS/iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS Simulator,

I feel like xcode is now enforcing a rule which was a warning before. I then thought about regenerating my  x86_64-iphonesim

but then didn't really want to rewind to pre 3.0.5 So, I figured I'd jump to 3.2.2

cd Users/john/Desktop/Developer/FPC/3.2.2
sudo make distclean -j 3

export IOS_BASE=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk export BIN_BASE=${IOS_BASE}/usr/bin
sudo make FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.5/ppc386 OPT="-ap" CPU_TARGET=x86_64 OS_TARGET=iphonesim CROSSOPT="-FD${BIN_BASE} -XR${IOS_BASE}" all

But.. that led to  ...

Sorry, I didn't get around yet to building and uploading the iOS cross-compiler and units for 3.2.2

As your build problem, don't start with that 3.0.5 compiler, but with plain 3.0.4 or 3.2.2 ppcx64 (or add CPU_SOURCE=x86-64 to hack around the issue)

Jonas

Jonas,
thanks but I'm still a little stuck.I only do this kind of thing once every 5 years or so.. sudo make FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64 OPT="-ap -FD${IOS_BASE_BIN} -XR${IOS_BASE}" CPU_TARGET=x86_64 OS_TARGET=iphonesim CROSSOPT="-FD${IOS_BASE_BIN} -XR${IOS_BASE}" all

it seems that crt1.10.5.o  is no longer in /usr/lib for the iphone sdk when I tried to use a MacOs version, I get more conflicts..

has anyone been using fpc with the latest xcode 12.5 and Big Sur  11.4 ?

Okay, I'm still trying to get past one issue.When trying to compile for iphonesim I get errors:

sudo /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.5/ppcx64      -Tiphonesim  -dIPHONEALL iPhoneAll.pas

Compiling iPhoneAll.pas
Assembling (pipe) iPhoneAll.s

clang: warning: using sysroot for 'MacOSX' but targeting 'iPhone' [-Wincompatible-sysroot] 297901 lines compiled, 1.2 sec

From using XCODE on cpp code, I believe the problem is that when invoking clangI need to be passing:

-target x86_64-apple-ios9.3-simulator
-isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator14.5.sdk

But I'm not sure how fpc invokes clangor how to change any options/flags in the clang call.. can you point me in the right direction  ?
like where is -T iphonesim processed ?

thanks
john

I hope it is ok to follow up to an oldish thread.

I am on an Intel MBP, MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina, XCode 12.4. I installed FPC 3.2.0 from the download DMG. I then checked out fpc_source from Gitlab, and from it built a local installation for 3.2.2.

Using this 3.2.2, building the aarch64 iOS cross compiler completed, although I haven't tested it yet. But I can't get the iphonesim target to build. I've tried several combinations of the make command line (trying out stuff I see in manpages or on the web). Here's one attempt:

% echo $IOS_SDK
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk % make FPC="<my local ppcx64>" \
CROSSOPT="-ap -XR${IOS_SDK} -ao-isysroot${IOS_SDK} -k\"-syslibroot ${IOS_SDK}\"" \ CPU_TARGET=x86_64 OS_TARGET=iphonesim \

Here's the error:

Any hints appreciated.

I've finally looked into this and found the error: the compiler has to specify -ios_simulator_version_min rather than -iphoneos_version_min to the linker when targeting the simulator. This is fixed in latest trunk and in the fixes_3_2 branch.

You might be able to also work around it on 3.2.2 by adding CROSSOPT="-k-ios_simulator_version_min -9.0" to the make command line, and also add those parameters when compiling a program for the iphonesim target.
