Has there been any progress on this?

It would be really helpful to be able to compile DigiByte Core on modern Macs.

#194 has been merged solving this issue.

I'm not 100% sure this has been solved, or at least it has not been tested yet. (Compiling on a Silicon Mac with GUIX)

It might be okay but we should probably keep this open till we are certain.

If you can compile, build, and make check, this issue can be closed, in my opinion. If there are application-level issues, such as hanging or slow startup, we should track those separately in discrete issues. This issue deals explicitly with the errors that were happening when trying to compile with M1 Macs, and I believe that issue is now resolved.

Ahh, you are correct @saltedlolly , my apologies. We do still need to validate with Guix.

Thanks for double checking on this. Apologies on closing this issue as the frozen screen is a separate issue based on @Jongjan88's feedback.

Yes the frozen issue is a separate issue.. but this is about guix

I am GUIX building for m1 and regular apple as we speak this morning. Will post how it goes and m1 binary if it works:

env HOSTS='x86_64-apple-darwin arm64-apple-darwin' ./contrib/guix/guix-build

It took a bit to get the Xcode SDK configured again, such a pain in the arse.

Looks like it worked, I just cant test the dmg for arm64.

IT won't let me upload a DMG.

So here it is on my proton drive:
