openMSX Debugger do not like Mac with M1 processor !

I'm sorry, I did not find the Topic which spoke about problems with the debugger... It was some time ago ...

I switched to Mac Book PRO M1, and I see that the openMSX debugger no longer works.
Installation of QT ARM version via Brew does not work.
Normally installing a version of QT5 for X86 which would be translated by Rosetta2 should have solved the problem, but that doesn't work either.
I used this tutorial: https://medium.com/mkdir-awesome/how-to-install-x86-64-homeb...

Does anyone have a solution?
If someone explains to me how to do , I can try to compile openMSX for ARM ...? or something else... ;(

I have had an M1 Mac Book PRO since very shortly after Apple launched them, and I have been using the openMSX debugger all this time without any problems. What problem are you seeing?

It crash at startup.
Now since I've installed X86 brew and X86 QT5

oh, I was able to install regular brew, qt@5 on arm directly, clone the github repo of the debugger, and just "make". What error do you get when installing the arm version of qt@5?

btw, I could also upload my compiled arm debugger binary somewhere if that can help!

I never managed to get the debugger to work on Mac. It crash at startup.

@santi: if you could do that, we can make it available on the openmsx.dev site.

More explicit instructions how to build can also be useful, I guess.

@santiontanon
Ok I see. You compile It directly on your Mac.
From my side, I just download it from openMSX website. Which is not the best solution I think.

Yes, please send your M1 binary, and also the instruction toi build it on MAC
Thank you

ok finally found a way...

1- Install Homebrew on your Mac from Terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh" title="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/inst...</a>)"

2- Install QT5

brew install qt5

3- On my MacOS 12.1 (Monterey. Brew is installing files on another folder than on my previous MacOS With Intel Processor.
Files are now stored in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5
But the debugger 's compiler is waiting them in /usr/local/opt/qt5/
Thus, create this folder
sudo mkdir /usr/local/opt/qt5/
then copy all files to new folder

sudo cp -R /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.2_1/ /usr/local/opt/qt5

4- Download latest version of the Debugger :
https://github.com/openMSX

5- with the terminal go to this folder,

CD [path to your folder]

type

make

It will create a new folder "/derived" you must find the debugger there.

Hope there is no mistakes here :o

Here the debugger binary for MAC M1
http://ebsoft.fr/msx/openMSX_Debugger_ARM.app.zip

Now I would like to have openMSX ARM Version, but I do not have all dependencies and libraries to compil it.

just run `make staticbindist`, it will download the dependencies automatically. I also have an openMSX ARM version running here
