I spoke too soon. I missed a step in the instructions. It's not working as expected. I'm gonna have to try again. Combining things from that gist and using some bits from here: https://gist.github.com/mikroskeem/0a5c909c1880408adf732ceba...

Me too, actually. Just found out today that it's not actually doing native comp. >:-( I haven't been able to build GCC with libjit support. (Used Clang while building; that solves some problems with GCC.) I've tried testing GCC/libjit on a smoketest and it hasn't worked. Please let me know what you get working!

Daamn... I've been building it with clang for the past hour (I dunno why the heck this taking soooo long, I think on Linux it builds much faster). I guess it won't work for me either :(

upd: Looks like the proper way of building is with gcc, but it builds without GUI. I need GUI.

Dude, if you can get it built, please either send me all the instructions or just post the binary.

Thanks for all your great tips on Twitter, btw. :)

Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you find the tips useful. I stopped experimenting with native-comp in OSX for now. Sadly, I have only one Mac. Every attempt to compile it takes way too long, and getting Catalina running in VM is similarly challenging. But If I learn anything new I will definitely try again, and of course I will keep you posted.

:)

I might try compiling it on my personal machine this week while I’m at work. I’ll keep you informed as well if anything interesting happens.
