Support native builds on Apple silicon

[hmaag]

Hey Wim!

This tool is great! Just wanted to flag an issue in case it helps others who might come across it.

Installation via brew worked great, but when when attempting to run ttcli init I received the following: zsh: bad CPU type in executable: ttcli

I'm on a new M2 Pro chip (first Mac in years), and Google leads me to believe this is a somewhat common issue. The commonly suggested fix I came across was to install Rosetta 2. This doable via the CLI: softwareupdate --install-rosetta

After running that installation the original ttcli init command worked great.

Not sure if this is anything you're able to address on your end, but hope it helps other folks who might be new to Apple's ARM chips like myself.

Really enjoying Taming Thymeleaf -- thanks for putting out such a great book!

Thanks for letting me know, I still have an Intel mac, but I'll see what I can do. Glad you have found a workaround for now.

Seems there is no GitHub-hosted runner available to build for Apple silicon at present. See https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/528 which is currently scheduled for Q4 2023.

@wimdeblauwe GitHub runners are now available 🎉

Seems it is not yet available for free for public projects:

You can use the 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

Pricing

Processor	vCPU	RAM (GB)	Storage	Label	Price on FlyCI	Price on GitHub

500 mins/month Free for Public Repos

If your repo is public, then FlyCI offers 500 mins/month of free M1 runner usage with the flyci-macos-large-latest-m1 runner.

I just installed 1.1.0 using brew on an M1 and I'm getting the following error:

christian@mac modern-frontends-with-htmx % ttcli init
The current machine does not support all of the following CPU features that are required by the image: [CX8, CMOV, FXSR, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4_1, SSE4_2, POPCNT, LZCNT, AVX, AVX2, BMI1, BMI2, FMA].
Please rebuild the executable with an appropriate setting of the -march option.

Installing Rosetta 2 did not solve the issue. I ended up building it myself but it would be great if you could provide it through brew.

I created a test build for Apple silicon since that is now officially supported on GitHub : https://github.com/wimdeblauwe/ttcli/actions/runs/7731468595

Could somebody that has such a device try the build to see if it works?

Looks good (M1 running macOs Sonoma 14.2.1):

There is one error in the logs. But it seemingly had no negative impact. I can open and start the generated project using IntelliJ without any issues.

Ok, thanks for testing @ChristianHuff-DEV !

Version 1.1.1 is now released with native Apple silicon (M1/M2/M3) builds. You can download it from the releases, or use homebrew.
