ICS icsv863 wil not compile under MacOS 64 bit (MACOSX 10.14)

[angelusb 0]

I'm working with Delphi 10..3.2 and will install the packet icsv863.zip. Compiling for Win32 goes perfect. But compiling for MacOS 64 bit gives errors . For example  TSystemtime and GetSystemTime are "Undeclared Identifiers".

In the annoucement for this release of ICS it should work under MacOs64.  What's wrong?
Please help.

[Angus Robertson 574]

Which previous version did you successfully build under MacOs64?  The announcement said MacOS and Win64, not MacOs64.

Thank you for response.

You are right: the annoucement don't say MacOS 64 bit. That's a shame, because the latest OS versions on the Mac no longer run  32 bit applications.  I never compiled a previous version under MacOs 64 bit. I'm new on FMX  and more new on MacOs. Have only experience with Win32/64.  But now I'm busy for (a non profit organisation)  to build  an application that have to run on Windows and on Macs.  I'm 75 years old and programming is my hobby.  Because there are some troubles with Indy components for FTP. I wanted to try ICS component instead. Hope in next future there will be a MacOS 64 bit version of ICS.

Quite happy to make ICS compatible with MacOS64, but you need to tell me what errors appear in which units, I don't have any Apple hardware to test.  Or is this a DEFINE issue, with MACOS or POSIX not being declared on MacOS64?

Thank you Angus,it will be great if you will help. I use Delphi 10.3.2 (Community Edition)
I tried to compile the projects from "install" folder 

I suppose I have to choose the package D103InstallVclFmx.groupproj (D103Install has only Win32 as Target Platform and uses VCL)

I try to compile this project (Build configurations Release, Target Platform MacOs 64 bit (OSX64))

Then I get the folowing errors

Digging further in the projectgroup I see several packages (for example IcsVclD103Run.bpl) with only the Windows 32-bit Target Platform. 

Hope it helps you to make the project will compile with OSX64.

[Angus Robertson 574]

And what happens when you build for MacOS?  I think you will get the same errors.  It seems GetSystemTime is Windows only so need some conditional code there, guess no-one has tried to build for MacOS for a few months since that was added.  You can try making those two UTC function dummies removing the real code, I think they are only used for the time client and server.  Sorry, I won't be looking at this immediately.

Did you try removing the offending Windows only SystemTime functions?  Did ICS then build okay on MacOs64?  I've corrected that problem in master, but need to know if other MacOS errors then occur.

I'm sorry : I run into dozens of errors in the units OverbyteIcsUtils , OverbyteIcsStreams etc. . Not only SystemTime functions. I  did set a compiler directive PUREPASCAL (function IcsSwap16   and others) . Errors for GetComputerNameW  , GetThreadLocale,  etc etc etc.

To many errors. So I don't understand why someone can say the project is to compile for OSX.  I'am sorry. But I did give it up.

All of those should be controlled by a directive as they are not included when compiling to Android, right ? 

One more thing i just recently got familiar with ICS or the lets say the current one, it did grow big since 7 years ago, @Angus Robertson impressive !

 

Anyway i don't have OSX, but i am sure if Angus have access to one he can make it compile and run in less an hour if not minutes, so If someone have OSX and will to give Agnus a TeamViewer access, please discuss that here or contact Agnus in DM and that of course if Angus agree to do so and confirm it here.

[Angus Robertson 574]

ICS is a project developed by volunteers and offered free of charge to the community.  Volunteers come and go, and currently there are none helping with C++ and MacOS, so our level of support depends on reports from end users, and we try to react.  We spend our time developing for platforms used by the majority of Delphi users, if those on other platforms don't help, they should not expect support.

 

V8.60 earlier this year added a lot of new components and it seems no MacOS user has tried to build this, thus the errors were not found.  So download V8.59 or earlier which should be okay for MacOS. The last bug specifically fixed against MacOS was in V8.52.   

 

I will fix or workaround GetComputerNameW and GetThreadLocale,  etc etc etc does not really help, there are not many new APIs.  I really don't have the time spend hours on this stuff, I just need to be told what to fix.
