OSX M1 Compatibility

Are there any requirements for this application? Are there log files generated anywhere? I'm not getting an error when opening, but it immediately closes.

Firstly, thanks for trying out MasterPlan, I appreciate it!

Secondly, sorry to hear it's not working - I have yet to examine M1 Mac compatibility that closely (as I don't have an M1 Mac to test on), though someone else with an M1 Mac experienced the same problem, I believe. There should be no extra requirements when compared to vanilla Macs, so I'm guessing Rosetta isn't currently working with MasterPlan (though I have a suspicion it's caused by the framework I'm using not having ARM-compatible code equivalents for some parts).

Log files should be generated in the "~/Library/Application Support/MasterPlan" directory - if it's not loading properly due to what I imagine is the problem (the framework not containing code Rosetta can use to make a non-M1 Mac program run), then the log files probably wouldn't be created.

It's a cool project, and think it would be really useful for game jams and other projects. I checked the Application Support directory for MasterPlan, but it looks like the logs are barren. I'll see if I can find any information on Rosetta, if it has any logging.

Are there plans to have this updated for ARM compatibility?

SolarLune3 years ago

Yes, but It might be awhile yet. Since I don't have an M1 Mac, I'll have to either troubleshoot and solve it without having an M1 to test on, or rent an M1 to work with.

Hi there! Trying to run it on an M1 Mac from the command line, I get this error.

So it looks like the Go code is not being properly compiled for ARM, or that something about It is not properly engaging Rosetta.

I'm happy to help debug if you need. (Or even get the build going for you if you're willing/able to share the source.)

As Shane indicated, looks like a CGO compile error. You would have to compile two Darwin versions - one for AMD and one for ARM via GOOS and GOARCH - https://go.dev/doc/install/source

Sorry for the late reply! I was under the impression that I had to actually have a M1 Mac to build for it, and that if an app can't run through Rosetta because of missing ARM code, then it wouldn't be possible to build otherwise. If that's not the case and I can just build for ARM Macs from an Intel Mac, and that would work for M1 Macs, then that's definitely doable. I'll look into it - thanks for the tip!

this might help with universal compilation https://dev.to/thewraven/universal-macos-binaries-with-go-1-16-3mm3

branpower2 years ago

Any luck?

SolarLune2 years ago

Hello, unfortunately not, actually.
I've tried building for ARCH64, but didn't get a good result on Github Actions with Mac OS 10.15 - I'll see if I can try with newer versions of MacOS, but fundamentally, it might be a matter of waiting for Github to support M1 Mac Runners (that's how I build MacOS applications).

branpower2 years ago

Well darn. I think you're on the right path for newer versions as 10.15 is deprecated, maybe use `macos-latest` ? https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-host...

SolarLune2 years ago

OK, I tried building using macOS 12 - can someone here try it on an M1 Mac and let me know if it works through Rosetta? Here's the link to the demo version.

branpower2 years ago

unfortunately it’s a pure intel binary and Rosetta isn’t triggering for it

I forked your code repository and got it working on my M1. I had to edit some things in the veandco library as well as yours:

Used `brew install` to get all the sdl2_ libraries.
Used the 0.5.0 alpha of the veandco/go-sd2l library: `go get github.com/veandco/go-sdl2@v0.5.0-alpha.1`
Removing HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_CORRELATE_XINPUT from veandco/sdl/hints.go
Line 85 in veandco/sdl/sdl_ttf.go: use SDL_bool rather than int
Changing color assign in events and textrenderer from the sdl.Color8888 to color.Color

Does this method still work? I tried it ish but even from command line I can't compile this thing.

How do I change the color thing btw? Haven't figured that one out yet.

branpower1 year ago (1 edit)

Heya Vox. So a lot of this has been fixed by SolarLune already. The one thing left that I have to for the code to compile is to change the version of go-sdl2 to the alpha version. The deprecated warnings can be ignored for now

(github.com/veandco/go-sdl2 v0.5.0-alpha.1)

Hello, I'm late to replying, but this might be resolved / improved? Can anyone who has an M1 Mac try the latest Mac version?

branpower2 years ago

Still not working on my M1, sorry.

branpower1 year ago

Have you tried using `fyne-cross` to see if you can compile for multiple OS X versions at once?

Still not working on M1 in June 2023 :-(
