Force x86-64 on MacOS #68

Closed Acurisu closed 2 years ago

Acurisu commented 2 years ago

This would allow people to build VTIL on Apple Silicon. It requires Rosetta 2 and a CMake that supports x86-64 but everything else should be normal.

Hi,

Thanks for your contribution! Unfortunately this would also restrict VTIL to only compile as x86. Perhaps it would be better to add this as a note in the readme?

Yes this is true, however at the moment VTIL doesn't compile for ARM (on MacOS) so I don't see this restriction as bad. If VTIL however should compile as ARM then this has been a misunderstanding on my part and it should ofcourse be fixed correctly.

mrexodia commented 2 years ago

No, it doesn’t compile on ARM (or at least I didn’t try since I don’t own an M1 device). Setting variables prefixed with CMAKE_ is a job for the toolchain or the user via command line though.

Acurisu commented 2 years ago

My bad, I thought it would be okay in this case. I will add a note to the README.

Acurisu commented 2 years ago

I reverted the change and added the note. I hope this is okay now.

Thank you!
