Apple M1 chip

[Dan-Burns]

Just an FYI to people with new Macs, the older OSX version available @ http://www.holeprogram.org/ does not seem to work with the M1 chip.

-bash: hole2/exe/hole: Bad CPU type in executable

@IAlibay @ianmkenney do you know if the conda-forge package #6 will support Apple M1?

[ianmkenney]

@orbeckst It's unclear. The container running the build/tests doesn't seem to make a specific mention of M1, so I doubt it

[IAlibay]

You'll have to do the migration on conda-forge I think.

[orbeckst]

@IAlibay how do we start the migration for the feedstock https://github.com/conda-forge/hole2-feedstock ?

[IAlibay]

@orbeckst - just raised a PR here: conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock#4388

[orbeckst]

thanks!

[orbeckst]

@IAlibay does our cf package work on M1/M2?

[IAlibay]

@IAlibay does our cf package work on M1/M2?

No, we never resolved this PR;
conda-forge/hole2-feedstock#1

[orbeckst]

Ok — sigh — still open then.

Looking at conda-forge/hole2-feedstock#1 this will require some digging.

[orbeckst]

@ianmkenney did you ever build and tested hole2 on an M1/M2 mac?

[ianmkenney]

No. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the issues at the time were.
