OSX 64 version 2.1.2 runs on M1 MacMini and M1v MacBook here
So that is not quite an issue, just for your informnation. What I did:
From haxorhax/prodatum github page:
MacOS
Update 12/30/22: I was able to verify the github agent build works on Big Sur 11.x and Monterey 12.x OS - with a couple tweaks:
The prodatum-macos-x64 executable needs the .app extension added Moved the executable to the Applications folder
If clicking gives you an error after that:
The security features may prevent the app from running (unknown company, etc.), so you will need to give the executable permission to run. Run the following line from a terminal: sudo chmod -R 755 /Applications/prodatum-macos-x64.app Then System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab look for a Allow button specific for an unknown application (s/b prodatum-macos-x64.app). NOTE: Apple M1/M2 chips are not supported by Github currently, with no ETA. The builds in this release are specific to Intel Macs only.
After adding the .app extension and running the above Terminal command, the app runs on my M1 MacMini and on my M1 MacBook Pro in a foder called: "Prodatum 2.1.2 OSX" inside the Application folder.
The "README_v2.0.1.txt" coming with the IntelMac version says:
If the directory "prodatum-config" exists in the same directory where prodatum was launched from (like in this zip file), prodatum will use that directory to save it's configuration and data. This is called "portable", as you can move the directory from computer to computer, without losing your settings and ROM data.
My "prodatum-config" folder in my "Prodatum 2.1.2 OSX" application folder stays empty, so this applies perhaps to the 2.0.1 version only...
This doesn't work. The old SourceForge versions were zip files you could download and they had the app directory in them. These GH packages aren't zip files. I don't know how I'm supposed to turn prodatum-macos-x64 into a directory, but I know that adding the .app extension doesn't magically turn the file into a directory.
OK, the 2.1.2 release here on GH is the actual binary. It's NOT going to work if you just rename it to .app.
The way I got it to work was:
- download the v2.0.1 ZIP from SourceForge
- unzip it
- right-click prodatum.app and open it with Show Package Contents
- download 2.1.2 from GH
- move the 2.1.2 file prodatum-macos-x64 into Contents/MacOS
- go to the terminal and make it executable with: chmod +x prodatum-macos-x64
- now erase the existing prodatum executable and rename the 2.1.2 executable: mv prodatum-macos-x64 prodatum
Can confirm. @qel's method does work for m1 mac on Sonoma 14.1 .
Incredible work! thanks to you and @haxorhax of course!
Can confirm that @qel 's method works to install on an M3 Mac Studio running Sonoma 14.2.1
Downloadlinks for Prodatum 2.0.1 and 2.1.2 would be appreciated.
