macOS Testers Wanted

[complexlogic]

Static binaries will be provided for macOS in the next release. I can verify that the builds are successful via the GitHub Actions CI, however, I have no means to test the builds because I don't have access to a Mac computer. Could any Mac owners test out the either one of the builds below and report if you experience any issues?

• x86-64 build
• ARM64 build

Could you confirm the minimum MacOS required? I'm guessing it's >= Monterey 12.7

[complexlogic]

Yes, I believe that is correct. Here is the configuration for the CI.

So far I can report that the ARM64 build seems to work on the following!!

• 2023 16-inch M2 MacBook Pro (Mac14,10)
• MacOS 14.2.1 Sonoma

I'll keep using it and trying it out! Please let me know if you'd like me to run any specific tests.

Note on Gatekeeper I first received a ... can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. message. To mark the exception, I first right clicked the binary in Finder, clicked Open, allowed it to run, which opened a new Terminal window and displayed the default help text and then completed. Then I could use custom commands in Terminal.

[complexlogic]

Glad to see that it's working well. The Gatekeeper issue is likely because the binaries aren't digitally signed. I will add a note in the README about the necessary workaround.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Testing it out on a 2019 Macbook Pro (2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7), MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1. It seems to run fine, and gives the expected results (in that they're identical to the version installed through homebrew).

Builds are now available in v3.5.
