Mac M architecture

[tobrien6]

Are there any plans to get this working for M architectures? The CLIPS engine downloaded from the official website seems to work fine on my M2.

Hello,

Yes, once GitHub actions support this architecture for its build.

As I don't own a Mac (let alone an M one), I cannot do otherwise. :smile:

In the meanwhile, you should be able to build your own package using the Makefile.

I built it with Make, but getting this error now when I try to import clips:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'clips._clips'

Edit: I was able to get it working. Thank you.

Might I make a suggestion? Feel free to use FlyCI's M1 and M2 runners. Our runners are on average 2x faster and 2x cheaper than GitHub's AND we have a free tier for OSS projects (see below).

Install Instructrions

Easily replace your M1 runners:

jobs:
 ci:
-    runs-on: macos-latest
+    runs-on: flyci-macos-large-latest-m1
   steps:
   - name: 👀 Checkout repo
     uses: actions/checkout@v4

Or try the M2 runners:

jobs:
  ci:
-    runs-on: macos-latest
+    runs-on: flyci-macos-large-latest-m2
    steps:
      - name: 👀 Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
