Installation steps for macOS #187

Closed chenrui333 closed 1 year ago

chenrui333 commented 1 year ago

👋 With this PR, now the users need to install the notarized pkg files when using diffuse on macOS, however, I did not see any related artifacts for x86 or arm. Did I miss anything? Thanks!

What you mean by "notarized pkg files"?

The "app package" that Meson creates should work on both X86 and Apple Silicon...? Or what do you mean?

I did not see this question until now but I did add a few comments in your Brew PR already.

Hi @chenrui333,

Not sure I'm following you either. Since @hugoholgersson did the port (and has a Mac :wink: ), he'll be the best person to answer you.

From my point of view, it seems that you were used to install Diffuse on your Mac in a specific way and it has apparently changed. Were you able to follow the Setup on macOS steps? Did you encounter issues during the process? Were you expecting something else?

Cheers!

I'll close this issue as I didn't receive an answer to my questions.

@MightyCreak I can do another try this week or maybe today :)

Since it is still trying to build as app, I might still think this is more suitable as cask
