Is there a way to get binaries for arm Macs?

[cianoc]

I noticed that a lot of plugins do not seem to have opcodes for Arm64.

I'm happy to compile these, but I figured there was a reason that only some of the plugins are available.

Is there a way that I can compile them and use Risset?

Arm64 for which platform? Assuming you mean macos, then most opcodes do have arm64 binaries.

To check if a plugin has a binary for arm64 do:

$ risset show <pluginname>

For example, risset show else

Compilation and testing is done via cirrus (github actions does not offer macos-arm64 runners)

I don't know if these are free to opensource projects, but they've recently started offering macos-arm64 runners: https://github.blog/2023-10-02-introducing-the-new-apple-silicon-powered-m1-macos-larger-runner-for-github-actions/

At least some of these are supported on ARM (sndmeta, vst3 - and I'd guess chua and hdf5 as well), as there are builds available for them. It looks like you just don't have libraries for them.

[gesellkammer]

risset is just a package manager, it is not responsible for building plugins. Plugin authors add their repos to the index and are responsible for providing binaries. For the plugins I myself authored there are binaries for macos arm64 with the exception of jsfx which implements a jit which is for x86 only. Regarding other plugins like vst3, hdf5, etc, it might be probably possible to add a ci build for arm64 for cirrus.

[gesellkammer]

There are now macos arm64 binaries for the following plugins: vst3, chua, py, hdf5. Others are actually building correctly but are still missing risset integration. Binaries for macos/arm64 can be found here: https://cirrus-ci.com/github/csound-plugins/csound-externals
