They don't make it easy, do they? So they'll need to be pulled in via brew with the --bottle-arch= tag I guess.

Unfortunately, it seems difficult to build the latest version on an Intel Mac.
For Intel Mac:

Code: Select all

$ git checkout has_fpu_bug

Building universal binaries is possible on arm64?

I will leave my current builds of SheepShaver and BasiliskII as they are, with the comment about FPU in BasiliskII on arm64.
First week next month I expect to get my M1 iMac. I will then need some time for migration and getting everything working, sorting out my 150+ applications. I will post new builds later next month.

Yes. You can build universal binaries on both Intel and Apple Silicon machine with Xcode 12 and above.

Many of us would be very grateful for step-by-step instructions for installing the needed libraries for building for both Arm and Intel. Many thanks for any help.

And am I right to think that we can only build a universal version on Arm, not on Intel?

As far as I understand the issues discussed, this is the status with current source:

SheepShaver
On both Intel and arm64 build machines it is possible to build a universal SheepShaver .

BasiliskII
On an Intel build machine It is not possible to build BasiliskII.
On an arm64 build machine it is possible to build a universal BasiliskII after installing the additional libraries for arm64.

For both BasiliskII and SheepShaver, JIT compiler is disabled in the arm64 versions of the universal application.
