Sortmerna can be compiled on ARM64 on mac computers?

[linyibin123]

Currently sortmerna is targeting the x86-64 architecture and not the ARM64 architecture. Is this means that sortmerna cannot be compiled on ARM64 on mac computers？

Mac on x86-64 for sure. Currently testing on conda-build and github actions build_osx.yml. I deleted the built artifacts yesterday but if you need it urgently, they can be regenerated I'm curious of ARM myself, so might give it a try when OSX is out of the door.

Thank you very much for your reply.

The build on ARM64 fails with:

I am working on adding a Linux ARM64 CI at my fork - https://github.com/martin-g/sortmerna/pull/1 Once ready I will work on a fix for the compilation problem!

[biocodz]

that sounds great!
