Hi Rory ! I'm getting back into Csound specifically to run some Cabbage-related projects, and as you know,  I've built Csound for the M1 (native). I'm quite willing to build Cabbage myself, but if there's an M1-native binary available already I'd like to try it.

Best regards !

I think the easiest thing is to provide your own build for now for those that need it. That's what I do with Cabbage.

As in, do I tell people to compile from source for M1, or provide a binary myself that will work for the limited needs of csound~, etc. 

thanks!

thanks Rory, I'll try that out until I can get builds from source going ok.

It's quite minimal, but comes with Intel and M1 slices for both the Csound libs, and libsndfile. It's pretty simple to build. Once(if) Victor's new mac arrives we'll all be sorted :)

Ah ok, well I just got one recently (motivated by the same issue for Scheme for Max), so if it would be helpful for me to build them, I could do so. Though I might need some help! Is there more to it than just building csound from source? Which I guess will get on to next either way!

No, since I am the one who builds mac releases and I don't have an m1 Mac, the releases are intel.

Also, I guess I can release separate packages for M1 and Intel Mac, but in that case getting confirmation that must build from source for M1 would be good.

thanks

Any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated, I've had several folks ask about M1 builds for running on Max on M1. I got the CMake part sorted, but not the Csound linking.

I could build from source, though I'm not sure how I link to both. So if anyone has built csound API projects for universals, I'd love to hear the scoop.

In the meantime, I guess I'll release 0.2 for only intel Mac.

Hi Dave. I can send you an M1 build if you like. However, the situation is pretty dire when it comes to exporting plugins as most hosts will simply ignore them unless they are signed. So you have to go and sign each export. Ad-hoc signing seems to do the trick, but some hosts are trickier than others. I'll be at my mac again later, I can prepare a package for you. The CI builds are still Intel based, but as soon as Azure DevOps support an M1 image, I'll be building universal binaries remotely.
