Weird part is I don't get this on my M1, but DO on my intell mac. make install works, but now I can't start this as a brew service :(

[es183923]

try installing with brew install --HEAD koekeishiya/formulae/skhd instead

[Jbusma]

I tried head in the start and the end, no dice /shurg

[yamiteru]

Head works for me on Macbook Air with M1

any update on this?

[shubharajkharel]

Resolved:

• use updated brew-formulae wget https://github.com/koekeishiya/homebrew-formulae/blob/86ca926b74f9c4c475d366c7abb402bae4c42539/skhd.rb

• brew install from local file brew install --build-from-source ./skhd.rb

This worked for me, though the wget command didn't yield a ruby file with the patch applied, for some reason! For those who read too fast or don't go to the source link to see the patch, just add ENV.deparallelize at the beginning of the install method in the skhd.rbyou downloaded, i.e.

def install
   ENV.deparallelize

then build from source as suggested above, i.e. brew install --build-from-source ./skhd.rb
