Build for macos-arm64 (M1 Macs)

[jacksongoode]

Anything preventing this?

There's no macOS arm64 build environment for GitHub actions yet, unless it's self-hosted: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/2187

Ah I thought they had recently rolled it out! Darn, well I guess emulation might be possible? No worries if it's too much effort.

Unfortunately not. Maybe it can be cross-compiled, but I haven't tested it yet, as the benefit is rather small. Happy to take a PR though :)

I can assist with providing an M1 binary. I will try to compile it tomorrow and see if it goes well. If it does, expect a file.

Thanks, that's kind of you. I have access to an M1 machine myself, but the problem to solve here is to cross-compile from x86_64 to M!/arm64 so that it can be done in CI.

FYI, M1 runners are now supported: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/8439

You can also use 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

I suppose if someone wants to add the CI build, we can use this runner?
