Long time since last post but I finally managed to get retina support to
work again.

I am not sure if Apple has dropped support for retina rendering in
carbon apps or if something inside of lazarus changed, right now there
are two paths to get super crisp fonts back:

Install qt4 and qt4pas, then recompile lazarus from svn trunk:

make clean all CPU_TARGET=x86_64 LCL_PLATFORM=qt
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/lazarus
sudo make install CPU_TARGET=x86_64 LCL_PLATFORM=qt

and perhaps:

lazbuild --build-ide= --ws=qt --cpu=x86_64 --compiler=ppcx64

other way is to recompile lazarus with LCL_PLATFORM=cocoa, but
unfortunately cocoa is not really usable at the moment, lots of crashes,
but better than the last time I checked.

it is necessary to compile in x86_64 because the packages provided by qt
only seem to include the x86_64 version of qt.

compiling for x86_64 works nearly perfect now, I needed to comment out
one function that does not seem to exist on x86_64:

-  Result := LSOpenCFURLRef(url, nil) = 0;
+//  Result := LSOpenCFURLRef(url, nil) = 0;
    CFRelease(url);
  end;

I am testing now for stability issues, so far no major problems (but I
am only using a small part of lazarus)


That's not only problem with qt-cocoa. Another problem is that sometimes mouse hangs (no respond to clicks) after modal from modal form is opened and closed. I suspect qt internal implementation (qapplication_enter_modal_sys (or similar name)) where private variable is used to check mouse down/up.
