[fpc-devel] Issue with Compiling FPC and MacOS Big Sur

[Michael Ring]

Problem is more simple, path to SDK tools is missing in linker script:

-arch
x86_64
-macosx_version_min
10.8
-L/usr/lib/
-L./x86_64/
-L./systems/
-L/Users/ring/devel/fpc/rtl/units/x86_64-darwin/
-L./x86/
-L/usr/local/bin/
*-L/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/usr/lib/*
-lc


A permanent solution could be to add a call to xcrun to the link process 
to make sure (hopefully once and for all) that the SDK path is set in 
the linker-script:

ring at MacBook-Pro-1 compiler $ xcrun --show-sdk-path (master)fpc
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

ring at MacBook-Pro-1 compiler $ ls -l 
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk (master)fpc
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15 10 Dez  2019 
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -> MacOSX10.15.sdk


shall I try to create a patch?

Michael
