Issue compiling with OSXx64 "lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of:..."

[jrgleason]

I have a 2015 Macbook using x64 Intel processor. I am trying to follow the steps here but when I run

cmake --build . I get

What am I doing wrong? Is there something else I need to do that I am missing?

I see there is some talk about multi-arch needing to have a slightly different CMake file

[madebr]

I don't know why, but perhaps the precompiled headers are causing issues for you.

Can you try configuring with -DCMAKE_DISABLE_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS=ON?

[slouken]

No response, so I'll go ahead and close this for now.

(Upgrading Xcode might fix this problem, fwiw, but I'm just guessing.)
