I didn’t appreciate that if a port indicated it didn’t support arm, the x86_64 would be installed instead and used via rosetta etc. nice.</div><div><br></div><div>I have though already found a number of ports I use indicate they only support x86_64 but this seems unnecessary as remove it they build fine for arm64, so can be removed.</div><div><br></div><div>cheers Chris<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 15 Aug 2023, at 5:59 am, Joshua Root <jmr@macports.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta charset="UTF-8"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;">On 15/8/2023 05:06, Christopher Jones wrote:</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><blockquote type="cite" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Hi All,<br>Just migrated from an intel to AppleSilicon machine.<br>Reinstalling MacPOrts, from scratch off course, I’ve noticed some ports get install universal, when it’s not something I have requested. e.g.<br>---> Fetching archive for zlib<br>---> Attempting to fetch zlib-1.2.13_0+universal.darwin_22.arm64-x86_64.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/zlib<br>---> Attempting to fetch zlib-1.2.13_0+universal.darwin_22.arm64-x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from https://packages.macports.org/zlib<br>---> Installing zlib @1.2.13_0+universal<br>---> Cleaning zlib<br>---> Deactivating zlib @1.2.13_0<br>---> Cleaning zlib<br>---> Activating zlib @1.2.13_0+universal<br>zlib has a universal port, but its not a default one, and I didn’t request it, nor have I ever set my default settings to always install universal.<br>As I am new to apple silicon machines, is this normal ?<br></blockquote><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;">Most likely you installed a port that supports x86_64 but not arm64. The behaviour is the same as as when you install a port that only supports i386 on an x86_64 system.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;">- Josh</span></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
