Two or three weeks ago I switched my main computer to OSX 10.11, now I tried to re-compile Lazarus but compilation failed. I compile Lazarus quite regulary, so my guess is that this is perhaps related to OSX 10.11 as this problem is new to me and I have not seen others talking about an error like this in the forum (besides a thread in may, but this seems at least partially unrelated as I was able to compile lazarus during the whole summer.

I was able to make the main compile work again by adding -gw explicitly to OPT:

make clean all CPU_TARGET=i386 LCL_PLATFORM=carbon OPT="-k'-framework' -k'ApplicationServices' -gw"

So far, so good but when I run lazbuild the build fails:

lazbuild --build-ide= --ws=carbon --cpu=i386 --compiler=/usr/local/bin/fpc

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.4 [2014/02/26] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2014 by Florian Klaempfl and others (1002) Target OS: Darwin for i386

The problem seems to be that with lazbuild the Makefile defaults are taken, this means for some modules that they are compiled with only -g which means with Stabs debug info and this perhaps is not valid anymore on Mac.

grep "\-g" /usr/local/share/lazarus/components/debuggerintf/Makefile ....
override COMPILER_OPTIONS+=-MObjFPC -Scghi -O1 -g -gl -l -vw- -vh- -venibq -vm4046
....

Any ideas how to solve this?

You should try to pass -gw here as well. AFAIK there was some change regarding stabs support and trunk even completely removed it for Mac OS X.

I am not sure if I understand correctly what you mean.

Is there a way to pass -gw with the help of lazbuild? I checked, but did not find anything obious.

The only other option would be to fix all Makefiles with a sed script (there is quite a number of -g in the Makefiles) this works of course but it would be better to have this solved in a another way.

Do you know if Stabs for Mac is only removed on trunk or also removed in 3.0?

3.0 will some day get officially supported compiler for building lazarus, but not trunk.

I don't know either, that is something the Lazarus devs will need to answer.

One of the reasons the release of 3.0.0 is delayed is this problem. We're lucky that it happened now and not shortly after release... :/

3.0 will some day get officially supported compiler for building lazarus,

but not trunk.

Even then it would become part of 3.0.2 as it's a too important fix...

I changed the makefiles, IDE and lazbuild to use -gw instead of -g on darwin.

Please test.

I did a full rebuild based on fpc 2.6.4, worked perfectly on my Mac, both via the normal make and also via lazbuild.

Thank you very much, Mattias!
