Delphi XE2 FireMonkey Xcode installation problem

Question

I have Delphi XE2 installed on my Win XP Pro system and Xcode installed on my 4 week old MacBook (my total Mac experience = 4 weeks). Installed paserver, exported an iOS project to Xcode, loaded it up in Xcode (can see the project and the Pascal source etc.) and pressed run..

Build failed message. Detail is-

Shell Script Invocation error /users/rob/Library.... line 4 /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.5.1/ppcross386: No such file or directory

Is the Pascal compiler not there for some reason? Or something else missing? Does paserver paly a part in setting this stuff up on the Mac? Could the problem be related to paserver not having full access to my Win system at the time it was installed?

I am struggling with this and my unfamiliarity with Mac (Lion) is not helping...

Answer 1

Well I actually created a screencast / video showing you the steps you need to take to configure everything. I think you forgot to install the FreePascal and FireMonkey tools on the Mac side.

Feel free to have a look at this article : http://bit.ly/pzfrcJ

There you should find all the info you need and you should be able to follow the Screencast to complete your setup

Resolution!

Finally found the missing information -

Setup on Mac One-time setup must be performed on the development Mac, in addition to the standard Xcode installation. The FireMonkey-iOS.dmg disk image file is usually installed with RAD Studio under the FireMonkey-iOS directory; this file must then be transferred to the Mac. Open it and run the two installer packages:

fpc-2.4.4.intel-macosx.pkg installs Free Pascal 2.4.4 under /usr/local/. FireMonkey-iOS-XE2.pkg. copies Free Pascal 2.5.1 source to /Developer/Embarcadero/fpc/. copies FMI source required for apps to /Developer/Embarcadero/fmi/. builds and installs Free Pascal 2.5.1 under /usr/local/. generates, builds, and installs required iOS SDK headers under /Developer/Embarcadero/fpc/.

All working now.

Nice video Steffan - very professional. However my problem was with iOS specifically so did not help a lot, however I picked up a couple of tips. Looking forward to the iOS video one referred to in the OSX video.

Thanks
