I guess installation from source should not be a problem as both the OS and arm64 architecture work fine. I guess that at some point in time the app will become a fat binary. Hope someone will step in to update the build scripts.

Donating a machine can help to provide continued support :smile:

I tried to build from source on M1 end of January 2021 and failed. Tried under rosetta 2 for emulated x86_64 and succeeded. Just git pull-ed the most recent swipl-devel source (V8.3.20-43-g6588f8270) and tried again on native M1 and succeeded without issues. I used homebrew installed for M1 under /opt/homebrew and homebrew for x86_64 installed as default under /usr/local/ . Hope this helped.
