It seems GitHub Actions for the macos-14 runner using arm64 host. https://github.com/actions/runner-images?tab=readme-ov-file#available-images Intel host avlaible only for GitHub Teams or GitHub Enterprise.

can we use macos-13 for building intel version? is contour code hard linking to macos 14 only?

I am not sure that macos-13 provides compilers with c++20 support, but I think that we can use macos-15-large runners as an open source project (usage time is limited though, so better to use it only for release)

@Yaraslaut Why would we need a -large runner so much? Is that because of the Qt self-compilation? Wasn't that only for older Linux builds?

this is x86 runners, macos-15 is arm

BTW using nix-darwin I'm able to install contour without building manually =)
