| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | ## FPC 2.6.1 and below | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | To make sure that an application will run under previous macOS releases, use the *-macosx_version_min* linker parameter and link against the appropriate SDK (e.g. -XR/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ or -XR/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/). For example, to compile an application that should work on Leopard 10.5 and higher: | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | Add to /etc/fpc.cfg OR to Project / Compiler options / Other / Custom options: | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | -k-macosx_version_min -k10.5 | |
| 8 | + | -XR/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ | |
| 9 | + | ||
| 10 | + | The 10.4 SDK is the only one with a special name (10.4u instead of 10.4). Other SDK names simply contain the major macOS version number: MacOSX10.5.sdk, MacOSX10.6.sdk, ... | |
| 11 | + | ||
| 12 | + | Note: The path */Developer* depends on where you installed the Apple developer tools, and may be different if you chose a different location. Do not assume it will always be /Developer. | |
| 13 | + | ||
| 14 | + | The 10.7 is by default: | |
| 15 | + | ||
| 16 | + | -k-macosx_version_min -k10.7 | |
| 17 | + | -XR/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/ | |
| 18 | + | ||
| 19 | + | For targeting Tiger 10.4 the following settings are required: | |
| 20 | + | ||
| 21 | + | -k-macosx_version_min -k10.4 | |
| 22 | + | -XR/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/ | |
| 23 | + | ||
| 24 | + | ### Adding the custom options only when compiling for macOS | |
| 25 | + | ||
| 26 | + | To add the above custom options only when compiling for macOS add to Project / Compiler options / IDE macros / Conditionals: | |
| 27 | + | ||
| 28 | + | ``` pascal | |
| 29 | + | if TargetOS = 'darwin' then begin | |
| 30 | + | UsageCustomOptions += ' -k-macosx_version_min -k10.5'; | |
| 31 | + | UsageCustomOptions += ' -XR/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/'; | |
| 32 | + | end; | |
| 33 | + | ``` | |
