I've tried to build PrusaSlicer for a new Macbook Air M1 (new "Apple silicon") and found that the first line,
brew install cmake git gettext
wasn't visible in the installation instructions due to a formatting error.The instructions are valid for macOS BigSur and M1; PrusaSlicer compiles on it without error (yet there are multiple warnings). The process takes about 20 minutes and requires approx. 6Gb of disk space.
The produced binary is for a single architecture,
Running it on an Intel system returns
bad CPU type in executable: PrusaSlicer
. Build scripts need to be updated to produce a universal binary forx86_64
andarm64e
.Slicing is twice faster on M1 compared to Intel's Core i7 (I used a first complex STL file I could think of - "Bernie with mittens" from Thingiverse):
