arm64 macOS build is available!

[Qian Yun]

I just found out that github CI enabled arm64 macOS runner
one month ago:

https://github.blog/changelog/2024-01-30-github-actions-macos-14-sonoma-is-now-available/

So after some minor tweaking, the arm64 macOS build of FriCAS
is available now:

https://github.com/fricas/fricas-nightly-builds/releases/download/nightly/FriCAS-2024-03-03T03.49-macOS-arm64-52126cc2.dmg

I can't test it myself, so I invite arm Mac users to give it a test.
Note that this file is not signed.

But if everything is fine, I can get my friend to sign the x86-64
and arm64 version of 1.3.10 release dmg file.

P.S the new arm64 macOS runner is very fast: it can compile FriCAS
and run tests in 3.5 minutes, twice the speed of Linux runner.

Hi Qian,

Thanks for your effords. But it does not run on my machine. Double Click
(DiskImageMounter) first created an app with FriCAS-logo, but this then
gave an error. Now double click of the dmg file seems to do nothing at
all any longer.

Hi,

Can you give a more detailed description of the error?
Very likely it is caused by the fact that this dmg is unsigned.

I hear that it is very verbose to install unsigned apps on macos-14,
especially so on ARM machines.

Hi Quin,

not much info: double click on FriCAS symbol resulted in the pop up
window: Translation of German error message is:

FriCAS is corrupted and cannot be opened. Recommendation is to throw out
the image

Thanks for your testing. Although this message is not what I expected:
I was expecting something like "app not signed".

The only (unlikely) explanation for this is the downloading process
is corrupted.

- Best,

you can make sure this is not the case by computing and publishing md5 or sha256 of the image,

then the image may be verified  for corruption during download.

Hi Dr. Johannes,

Can you check that the file you downloaded has the following md5sum:
8ead8361582d5ecfde87240e909dcfd2

Also I wonder if other people have the same problem...

[Prof. Dr. Johannes Grabmeier]

yes it has:

~/downloads$ md5 FriCAS-2024-03-03T03.49-macOS-arm64-52126cc2.dmg
MD5 (FriCAS-2024-03-03T03.49-macOS-arm64-52126cc2.dmg) =
8ead8361582d5ecfde87240e909dcfd2

There are many reasons for macOS to not like an unsigned dmg. E.g. it might require a special permission from the admin.
I have this setup on an x86_64 macOS machine from my employer
There can also be an antivirus soft blocing suchdmgs
