[GithubActions] add an aarch64-apple-darwin build to releases

[gllmAR]

Running chmod +x on lan-mouse-mac binary results in an error due to missing libadwaita-1.0.dylib.

brew install libadwaita didn't resolve the issue.

Temporary Solution

when I compiled the source code after installing libadwaita via brew, I was able to run the locally compiled binary successfully.

This leads me to believe that the issue might be specific to the pre-compiled binary.

[feschber]

Could you give me the output of

ls /usr/local/lib | grep libadwaita

?

And did you try executing the downloaded lan-mouse-mac after compiling from source?
For me the provided binary works but I can only test on bigsur amd64 at the moment after having compiled everything.

The dependencies I installed are

brew install gtk4
brew install libadwaita

[gllmAR]

the output of ls /usr/local/lib | grep libadwaita result nothing

output of ls /usr/local/lib show some lib but no libadwaita

libe131.1.dylib		libe131.la		libndi_licenses.txt
libe131.a		libndi.4.dylib
libe131.dylib		libndi.dylib

a system wide search with find / -name 'libadwaita*' 2>/dev/null result these finds ( I hidden some since there was a bunch of less meaningfull result)

And did you try executing the downloaded lan-mouse-mac after compiling from source?

yes i did but it was still not working (same error message)

zsh: abort      /Users/gllm/Downloads/lan-mouse-mac

as a temporary workaround, I create a symbolic link from the libadwaita to it's expected place

mkdir -p /usr/local/opt/libadwaita/lib
ln -s /opt/homebrew/lib/libadwaita-1.0.dylib /usr/local/opt/libadwaita/lib/libadwaita-1.0.dylib

Running the release get me the following error message indicating that I try to run it on the wrong architecture (m1) which is progress but probably another issue.

It seems like on M1 / Apple Silicon the libraries are installed in /opt/homebrew/lib instead of /usr/local/lib (as is the case with intel macs).

The binary uploaded for the releases is compiled for Intel Macs so it would be expected that it does not work. You would need to run it via rosetta (2?) in this case.

I can not personally test this right now but from what I've read it would be something along the lines of

arch -x86_64 lan-mouse-mac

I only briefly got a chance to test on an actual M1 mac and had some rendering issues with libadwaita (only a black box was displayed instead of the actual window). For that reason I did not want to publish a binary for M1 Macs yet.

You mentioned that you got it to work when compiling from source: Did you run into the same issue or did the window get displayed correctly?

If it works on your end, I would update the GitHub-Actions runner to produce a lan-mouse-mac-arm64 for Apple Silicon.

[gllmAR]

running arch -x86_64 lan-mouse-mac seem's to indicate that executable can't bind to arm64 libs installed with brew...

running software from source result in proper display with no visible artifact on m1 hardware 👍

[feschber]

Thats good news! I will update the release to include an Apple Silicon build then.
The issue above might be because of the symlink you created (it seems to be trying to load that library which will of course not work).

In order to install the correct x86_64 libraries you might need to install & run homebrew under rosetta as well.
But I guess there is no reason to do that if the native version works ;)

[feschber]

Small update: The m1 hosted runners don't seem to be free of charge yet, so I need to setup a cross-compilation toolchain (still figuring out how to setup pkg-config for that).
Hopefully wont take too long :)
