Apple M1 Support in GsDevKit

[dalehenrich]

What specifically is needed to support the Apple M1?

[dalehenrich]

ah, I think you must be referring to the fact that we need to update the GemStone downloads to recognize the M1 and download the correct version, now that 3.6.1 has become available ...

Yes, downloads and installOsPrereqs are the ones I've found so far. Not sure if there are others that are platform dependent.

I've tested it in my narrow environment (i386 OS10.14.6 and arm64 OS11.2.3) and it's working.

However, there's been a change in the version of xpath between my two test environments that requires different args. I put in a switch that changes at OS11 however, it may have been updated in a minor version in between. Regardless, if someone has an issue, the switch can easily be updated.

Sounds perfect! Haha, xpath is a pain in the butt ... I think that those are the only two that need changes ... BTW, I'm taking a crack at using github actions to run tests for the superDoit project ... once I have an idea of how it's working out, I think that GsDevKit_2 and GsDevKit_home should be converted to use them as well ... travis has been "going away in a few weeks" for several months now, but eventually it will, so it's time to learn ...
