Not working with Mac M1 Chip

sebicas opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hello, amazing plug-in thank so much!

But is not working with Apple M1 Silicion, here is the error:

Loaded: /Users/sebicas/X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/rfxpl/64/mac.xpl (net.remoteflight.rfserver).

dlerror:dlopen(/Users/sebicas/X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/xgs/64/mac.xpl, 0x0006): tried: '/Users/sebicas/X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/xgs/64/mac.xpl' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (x86_64), need (arm64e)))

Any idea how can this be fixed?

I need a volunteer with appropriate knowledge and hardware to compile the plugin for all Apple platforms.

@hotbso can you please re-open the issue... I will try to recompile and fix it.

@hotbso I was just able to compile with -arch arm64 and works great on my MacBook Pro M1

Happy to contribute the compiled file if you like... let me know.

Thanks!

Send the binary (or a link) and will put it into the download kit.
So you used the Makefile.mac64 and just replaced the -arch argument?

Creating an ARM-only binary for simple projects can indeed as easy as replacing the argument to -arch (and building against the X-Plane SDK version 4, which I assume is a drop-in replacement for version 4). macOS Catalina or later, and a recent version of Xcode (especially under Catalina). But you can build for ARM on an Intel Mac though. Then you need two distributions; creating an Intel+ARM plugin is a touch more complex, IIRC (you need to build both separately and combine them with lipo, unless I missed a way to do it in one step?).

Yes, correct... that is the only change I made

Will research a bit more what @Rodeo314 mentions and try to make it compatible with Intel+ARM

any chance I can get a copy of the complied M1 version? I have no idea how to do this myself.

Can you please send the binary? There seems to be some interest.
