Mac ARM (Apple Silicon)-native build

[ajmas]

Originally opened here: alinebee#109

Now that Apple Silicon (ARM on Mac) systems are beginning to ship, please create an updated native build for these systems on Mac OS 11.

My comment:

Maybe the starting point would be QEMU or box86 which people have gotten to run on the Raspberry Pi:

• https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=246886
• https://opensource.com/article/18/3/can-you-run-dos-raspberry-pi
• https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/build-a-dos-emulation-system

Next, would be getting access to an M1 based Mac, physically or remote.

On the other hand given no source updates in 4 years, I am not too confident.

Recent builds are compiling and running under Apple Silicon natively. You can thank @stuartcarnie for that.

Are these builds different from the executable linked from the homepage? This one doesn't launch on macOS 12.0.1. Is it due to the 64-bit requirement?

Best open a new ticket for launch errors. Be sure to include details about your environment and any logs that may seem relevant in /var/log/system.log

All macOS releases have been 64-bit for at least 5 years.
