On the website, the instructions for running on macOS on Apple Silicon are to install the nightly build and then install LLVM from Homebrew. I didn't install from Homebrew but am able to do some basic stuff with the roc command (e.g. get the version, run the REPL, build and run the initial application).
I have Xcode and the command line tools for that installed so is that the reason? Or will I run into a problem once I start doing more advanced stuff?
Anton (Jun 25 2024 at 14:16):Hi @pyrmont,
You probably already have the right llvm version installed. If you can run expressions (2+2) in the REPL and hello world I think you'll be good.
pyrmont (Jun 25 2024 at 14:22):Great. Thanks, @Anton!
Brendan Hansknecht (Jun 25 2024 at 15:01):Repl is dev backend. Have to build an actual app to see if you have llvm working
pyrmont (Jun 25 2024 at 22:54):@Brendan Hansknecht: Thanks for the clarification!
