Last update of Lazarus was the 0.9.28.x family, released in october 2009,
that marks support to Carbon as beta but does not resolve the issues I've
previously experienced in obtaining a satisfying build of PeaZip on OSX
platform.
Being no other Lazarus user I know of able to build the application for
OSX till now (not even the much more simple PeaLauncher for archive
extraction, with far simpler UI and no call to underlying crypto library),
I suspect it is, unfortunately, still early for an OSX port of that
application.

Any update on this since 2010?  I downloaded the latest Lazarus/FPC stuff but haven't yet been able to make a working build.  But since I am not familiar with this build environment and toolset it may be just me.  If I can help to make this work, I'd love to. It would be awesome to have a Mac OS X version!

I set up a development environment on a macOS machine and a Darwin / macOS version is now available, both for aarch64 (M1 Apple Silicon SoC) and Intel x86_64 architecture.
Please note this is a very first attempt to build, package, and distribute PeaZip as Mac app so it may need refinements, anyway the code base is now fully tested to correctly compile and run under Darwin / macOS systems:

macOS / Darwin DMG packages are now available both for Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (aarch64) machines.

To install PeaZip
(1) open the DMG package and drop peazip.app in /Applications directory,
(2) open Terminal and run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/peazip.app

this will remove the quarantine flag (applied by default by Safari to downloaded apps) the first time the application is run.

Due to the structure of macOS application packages, PeaZip for macOS can also be used as a portable app, copying peazip.app in any desired location.
