Hello,
Just passing by. I use every day Qt on my mac. I do not think the support of Qt by Lazarus is the future of Lazarus because Lazarus greatly reduces qt's capabilities. In addition it is necessary to distribute all necessary qt libraries.
But I can not understand. In interpreting your remarks, I understand that it is currently possible to use an experimental trunk lazarus cocoa ?
The cross compilation is a problem : I tried from Lazarus Carbon to use UniDac by cross-compiling to 64-bit Cocoa: total failure.
I believe that to develop the use of Lazarus under macOS you must facilitate its installation.
It takes a step-by-step tutorial, updated to the new version of Mac: OS 10.12.6, including the installation of an integrated debugger ... even if it's under Carbon 32.
Then you need a step-by-step tutorial to cross-compile the projects to Cocoa 64.
Do not complain if there is no Mac OS Lazarus's user. Installation is very difficult when compared to the Windows or Linux installation.
Then for someone who wants to test Lazarus, it is almost a blow on abandonment before even being able to test it.
I installed Lazarus, managed to integrate gdb and dropped to cross-compilation. Too painful, too time consuming, too complicated ...
Regards. Gilles
