Hi

Ah M1 macs. I was curious as to when this would blow out in our faces...
I suspect the issue is seen when using ALS from a 'nightly' bulds .dmg image , right ?

[TheSkyseeker]

Yes, exactly. I used the latest one, 2021-01-29

Until we can get ours hands on such hardware, we are unable to provide a .dmg for M1 systems.

But, provided you install pyenv on your M1 Mac, you can generate one yourself using this script : https://github.com/gehelem/als/blob/release/0.7/ci/build_dist_OSX.sh

A specific point of attention needs to be addressed when installing a 3.6.9 version of Python using pyenv.

If you want to try it out, just tell me and I'll describe the steps needed before using this script

Peace

[TheSkyseeker]

Sure, lets do it👍

Hi

I sugget you install homebrew so all next steps are easier
See : https://brew.sh/

1. install pyenv using homebrew
   See : https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#homebrew-on-macos

2. install a v3.6.9 Python version, with this specific command :
   env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.6.9

3. install create-dmg (with homebrew as well)
   See : https://github.com/create-dmg/create-dmg#installation

Then, get ALS sources from release/0.7 branch, using GitHub download or clone feature
then call the build script from the sources top folder :

./ci/build_dist_OSX.sh

You'll then find your DMG image inside the dist subdirectory

Hi,

I finally found the time, but ended in an error trying
env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.6.9
--> Unexpected output of 'arch' on OSX

To be noticed, Python 3.8.2 is installed correctly

Tomorrow I'll clone the terminal-app and set it to be opened with rosetta.

I know, 2 years after....

If you're still into it, I just witnessed an M1 Macmini running perfectly fine with the latest build.

Well, Sounds good.. At last ;-)Meanwhile, I only have time for shorter astro sessions - so I've reduced my setup to a alt-az plus 3 seconds exposure at a time. What about de-rotation here? CS Steven Am 09.03.2023 um 01:42 schrieb Frederic CORNU ***@***.***>: I know, 2 years after....

Hi,

What about de-rotation here?

Should work out of the box

Hi again

I received news from a brave soldier who managed to run ALS from source on an M1 Mac Mini : performance boost vs Intel : ~40%

[TheSkyseeker]

Sounds great.. As soon as my time allows it, I will double check the de-rotation. BRSteven Am 21.03.2023 um 17:48 schrieb Frederic CORNU ***@***.***>: Hi again I received news from a brave soldier you managed to run ALS from source on an M1 Mac Mini : performance boost vs Intel : ~40% —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>
