Error when building concordium-client from GitHub source on MacBook m1

Clients
#1

Hi,

I’m trying to build concordium-client from source on my Macbook m1. Followed all build prerequisites except installation of rust since I have it already (also, I did not default it to 1.53 as I thought it is not necessary). When running “stack build” I get the error:

Any hints as to what may be the cause and how to resolve? Thanks.

Can you show the longer log?

Are you compiling for the x86 target, or for the arm64 one?

#3

Below is the error log. I have not set any target so I suppose whatever is the default (x86 in this case?). Am new to Haskell build, how can I set the target that works?

Looks like you are trying to build the client for the x86 platform. How did you install stack and ghc?

#5

how can I build it for arm or a target that works? I installed stack and ghc by following the instruction on the prerequisite section (install via ghcup). Basically I ran this:
curl --proto ‘=https’ --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh

#6

Got it working now.

After re-checking what I’ve done, i found out that i ran the other Haskell download command instead of via GHCUp. The GHCup approach/way populated ./stacks/programs directory with ARM specific files instead of previous where they were all x86-related. Also, I installed LLVM version 11 via homebrew and finally ran: stack -v build --ghc-options=’-fllvm’

SHaring, should anyone face the same problem when building from source on a macos m1.

Thanks for following up with what worked for you.
