What you need
The Carbon widgetset is in an early stage of development. A fully functional Lazarus IDE on Mac OS X is strongly recommended. For instructions see Installing Lazarus on Mac OS X.
Getting a carbonproof Lazarus
- Install SVN for Mac OS X: A good package is provided by Martin Ott.
- Then follow Installing_Lazarus#Downloading_Lazarus_SVN
- Start Lazarus. The IDE will start with a new project with an empty form. Save this project under a name of your choice. In the following examples we assume this to be /Users/<yourUsername>/pascal/test/project1.lpi
Compiling the Carbon Interface
We now assume your Lazarus directory is located at /Users/<yourUsername>/pascal/lazarus/
- Start Lazarus.
- Set Environment>Environment Options>Files>Lazarus Directory to /Users/<yourUsername>/pascal/lazarus/
- Set Tools>Configure "Build Lazarus"> to
and add this to your 'Options': -k-framework -kcarbon This will prevent unresolved symbols (Carbon-symbols like _ActivateWindow) while linking lazarus.
- Tools>Build Lazarus -- This will compile the Carbon Interface and put the .ppu files into /Users/<yourUsername>/pascal/lazarus/lcl/units/powerpc-darwin and /Users/<yourUsername>/pascal/lazarus/lcl/units/powerpc-darwin/carbon
Your first native Carbon App
Compiler Options
Set Project > Compiler Options > Paths > LCL Widget Type to carbon
Set Project > Compiler Options > Linkink > Options Check Pass Options to the Linker
and type in the edit field:
-framework carbon
You should now be able to compile the project without errors. It will create an executable project1, but you can not focus it. That's because Mac OS X expects some hidden resource files.
Creating the Apple Resource files
There is a tool to create these files.
Open /Users/<yourUserName>/pascal/lazarus/components/macfiles/examples/createmacapplication.lpi in the IDE. Compile.
Open a Terminal of your choice. Type:
cd /Users/<yourUserName>/pascal/project1/ /Users/<yourUserName>/pascal/lazarus/components/macfiles/examples/createmacapplication project1 ln -s ../../../project1 project1.app/Contents/MacOS/project1
Now you can start the program via its Finder icon or in the native Mac OS Terminal via ./project1.app/Contents/MacOS/project1
