Intel builds on MacOS running on Apple Silcon

[sjames1958]

I read this in the build page.

`Building Intel 64-bit on an ARM64 MacOS host system is not yet supported (see here for details).`

When I clicked on the "here" for details, that issue is shown as fixed. So, is it possible to build x86 CEF on mac silicon machine?

I don't think x86 is supported anymore. The quote states "64-bit" and "ARM64".
And even if it still is, the fix is

Code: Select all

  } else if (host_cpu == "arm64" && current_cpu == "x64") {
    # Cross-build from arm64 to intel (likely on an Apple Silicon mac).
    v8_snapshot_toolchain =
        "//build/toolchain/${host_os}:clang_arm64_v8_$v8_current_cpu"
  }


I think this addresses only x64 CPU and toolchain.

32-bit Intel is not a supported configuration on Mac. 64-bit Intel is supported and can be built on both Intel and ARM64 host. I’ll update the Wiki shortly.

To build Intel CEF on an ARM64 MacOS host system:

Code: Select all

export GN_DEFINES=is_official_build=true
export CEF_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=tar.bz2
export CEF_ENABLE_AMD64=1
python3 automate-git.py --download-dir=%download_dir% --branch=%cef_branch% --minimal-distrib --client-distrib --force-clean --x64-build --with-pgo-profiles

Thanks - this solved it for me.
