I build using Ubuntu 24.10, and I don't personally own a Mac so I don't have a way of easily testing this, though I will still try to look into it regardless.

@LucasMW I'm also on macOS (15.1.1 ARM) with zig 0.13.0 installed

After tweaking the make iso part a bit like this:

iso-on-macos: build ramdks
	git clone --branch v7.x-binary --depth 1 https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine /tmp/limine
	mkdir -p /tmp/zorro_iso/EFI/BOOT
	mkdir /tmp/zorro_iso/Drivers/
	cp -f /tmp/limine/BOOTX64.EFI /tmp/limine/limine-uefi-cd.bin /tmp/limine/limine-bios-cd.bin /tmp/limine/limine-bios.sys boot/x86_64/* ramdks.cpio ryu/Ryu /tmp/zorro_iso
	cp -f drivers/out/* /tmp/zorro_iso/Drivers
	mv /tmp/zorro_iso/BOOTX64.EFI /tmp/zorro_iso/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
	xorriso -as mkisofs -b limine-bios-cd.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table --efi-boot limine-uefi-cd.bin -efi-boot-part --efi-boot-image --protective-msdos-label /tmp/zorro_iso -o zorroOS.iso
	zig cc /tmp/limine/limine.c -o /tmp/limine/limine
	/tmp/limine/limine bios-install zorroOS.iso
	rm -Rf /tmp/limine
	rm -Rf /tmp/zorro_iso	

It succesfully generate the ISO:

cp -f /tmp/limine/BOOTX64.EFI /tmp/limine/limine-uefi-cd.bin /tmp/limine/limine-bios-cd.bin /tmp/limine/limine-bios.sys boot/x86_64/* ramdks.cpio ryu/Ryu /tmp/zorro_iso
cp -f drivers/out/* /tmp/zorro_iso/Drivers

Perhaps there's some syntax difference on Linux and macOS's cp. But running the iso:

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom zorroOS.iso -smp 2 gives you a crash:

No idea why. I'll try to build the ISO on Linux perhaps tonight.

@anta40 I just applied the changes you mentioned here to the Makefile in commit b7b578b. Not sure what's going on with the integer overflow though.

I haven't had any issues with it, I just built the ISO and it works just fine

[anta40]

@TalonFloof building the ISO on Debian, then running the ISO on Mac works, though

Perhaps the issue is on Zig itself. Oh well, another reason to (still) use Linux :D
