use addon on M1 Mac mini with OF 0.11.2 #1

This is a great addon and it works great on macOS 10.15.7, OF 0.11.0, Xcode 12.4, architecture x86_64.

But I am now trying to make it work on a M1 Mac mini.

OF 0.11.0 can not be used on M1 any more, so I have to use OF 0.11.2. Trying to compile your addon with OF 0.11.2 on macOS 10.15.7 or 11.4 both throw errors like this:

It seems to be all about Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

Do you think the libPvAPI.dylib is not made for the new M1 architecture since it is an AVT legacy product?

Luckily I can compile my app on macOS 10.15 with OF 0.11.0 and then copy it over to the M1 Mac mini and it work. But I really hope to be able to compile directly on the M1.

Thanks for any advice.

Using ./CLipConfig -l as discussed here works on the M1: https://www.alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/products/cameras/various/installation-manual/GigE_Installation_Manual.pdf

I contacted AVT and this is their response:

Unfortunately, PvAPI is not available for ARM based MacOS systems, nor is it being further developed. We have not ported Vimba to MacOS, only Windows and Linux.

At this time, I'd have to suggest trying an open source project called Aravis.

I knew for I while they were not going to support Mac anymore, so I created a new Addon for linux ofxVimba Thanks for the Aravis tip!

Yes I saw ofxVimba the other day. Looks promising. Do you know if it would work on newer macOS systems?

Unfortunately it only works on Linux (tested on Ubuntu) and should work on Windows (not tested recently)
