Hi,
I'm planning in the next few weeks to retire my 2012 16GB Mac mini which has served me well with ConTeXt (and other software) over these past few years. I was planning on getting the new entry level MAC min M1 with 8GB unified memory but I see that there will be no ConTeXt binaries for these new M1 chip Macs. Would it be possible for a ConTeXt user like myself to build the binaries on my proposed new Mac? I'm not a computer professional. At some point yes (because once stable the code will be in the distribition) but even then you probably need to mess with compilers
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/building_a_universal_macos_b... Maybe Mojca has to configure the build to either generate arm bins (in addition) or universal apple bins (of course these are larger). We actually discussed it before but apple has been kind of secretive about all this. Of course, if they care about luatex cs support they could send an M1 mini to Mojca for the compile farm for some real testing. Btw, aren't intel bins supposed to run on the M1 in some emulation mode?
