Apple Silicon macOS Native client #113

Closed danielktdoranie closed 7 months ago

danielktdoranie commented 7 months ago

Hi, any hope for an Apple Silicon macOS Native client? I would love a server and client of course but a client alone would be amazing. Not a huge fan of running Intel code on my Apple Silicon M1 arm processor. Thanks!

Oops, I thought I had that already, but it looks like I'm only building for Darwin amd64. I'll add it.

What installation method are you using?

danielktdoranie commented 7 months ago

A .dmg would be awesome. Thank you.

I've modified the Homebrew formulas to build for Apple Silicon and added Apple Silicon as a build target for new versions in on the releases page.

To install with brew:

brew update
brew install jhalter/mobius-hotline-client/mobius-hotline-client
brew install jhalter/mobius-hotline-server/mobius-hotline-server

As you may be aware, distributing compiled binaries on modern macOS a pain as it requires going through Apple's notarization process, otherwise scary warnings block execution. For this reason I recommend using the brew distribution on macOS, which avoids this by compiling the binaries on your system.

But if you are anti-brew or just want the binaries for some reason, the latest Apple Silicon binaries are here: https://github.com/jhalter/mobius/releases/download/v0.10.24/mobius_client_darwin_arm64.tar.gz https://github.com/jhalter/mobius/releases/download/v0.10.24/mobius_server_darwin_arm64.tar.gz

I'm open to revisiting the dmg install method in the future, but not a layer of hell I want to revisit to at this time.

Hi @jhalter first off THANK YOU for doing this and also thanks for the amazingly quick reply.

Yeah it is annoying but it is easy to get around. Personally I despise Brew after having a bad experience with the people who run their Github page. I reported an issue with their neofetch repo and I got nothing but snark in reply. Personally I use pkgsrc.

LMAO!

Thank you for the .dmg files! I will save these and install both server and client! You're awesome!

Just a note to anyone who wants to install/run the client software above... unzip it (if Safari hasn't already unzipped it for you) open Terminal.app go to /Downloads/dist/mobius_client_darwin_arm64 and run sudo ./mobius-hotline-client -config ./mobius-client-config.yaml

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't heard of pkgsrc before. If it's easy to contribute packages, I might be open to it. Or is someone else wants to create and maintain a package even better. 😄
