Hello. I'd like to request arm64 builds for the M1/M2 architecture. Thank you.

I do not have an m# device to test / use. I am open to accepting a PR with m1 cross compiling.

We need CI setup for automated builds. Again, I would be happy to accept a PR that adds it to alpha.yml.

What can we do to fix this

You are missing a linker. I presume this is still distributed as some part of XCode, but I don't have a (modern) mac to debug.

We were able to fix it. We simply used gluon cmd to create a new project and imported all the patches and ran gluon build. We are able to build now for M1 ARM

Steps

1. gluon setup-project. Select Firefox stable
2. Copy the gluon.json in the directory. Also replace the src and configs
3. For first time, run gluon download && gluon bootstrap && gluon import
4. For subsequent builds run gluon build && gluon build --ui
5. Then run gluon run

Cheers!!

Whilst I appreciate the steps, we need a functional CI for building MacOS build. Please feel free to create a pr updating .github/workflows/alpha.yml to add a build for MacOS.

@arcoirislabs can you explain further? I'm trying to build on an M1 mac, and struggling to follow your steps.
