Hi,

We have successfully ported our software from Delphi/Win32 to Mac OS X PPC/i386 with Lazarus - after some minor fixes it works great.

We are still getting feedbacks from users, and one particular is about getting the application up and running on PowerPC G4 with OS X 10.4.11 - it simply won't start.

I don't have a G4 so I'm not able to test this. Is there any known compatibility issues between G4/G5 and Lazarus? Or between G4 and G5 in general?

Best regards,
Normann

I compile my OSX apps on Linux, but I compile them against the 10.4 SDK headers and don't have problems running on 10.4/5/Intel/PPC. What OS/machine are you actually compiling on ?

Brad

We are compiling each application with Lazarus installations under each OS 10.4.11, on PPC and i386, and distribute these in a universal binary package.

I just received a new report this morning, and this time the problem happens on G5 :-(

I suspect somehow some redistributed framework gets broken on certain Mac installations.

I will try and guide these users to execute the application from command line, and see if this returns a link error, or any clues ;-)

Regards and thanks for your time,
Normann
