Fails to compile on GitHub Mac runners (incompatible architecture)

[ndmitchell]

On a GitHub Mac runner I do:

git clone https://github.com/jacereda/fsatrace.git .fsatrace
(cd .fsatrace && make)
fsatrace v - -- echo fsatrace works

But that fails with:

dyld[79178]: terminating because inserted dylib '/Users/runner/work/neil/neil/.fsatrace/fsatrace.so' could not be loaded: tried: '/Users/runner/work/neil/neil/.fsatrace/fsatrace.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'arm64e')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Users/runner/work/neil/neil/.fsatrace/fsatrace.so' (no such file), '/Users/runner/work/neil/neil/.fsatrace/fsatrace.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'arm64e'))

See https://github.com/ndmitchell/neil/actions/runs/9043421759/job/24851038411 for a complete trace.

I don't have any box running macOS anymore. Maybe compiling with -arch arm64e does the trick?

[ndmitchell]

How do you mean? As FLAGS or something? The simplistic version failed https://github.com/ndmitchell/neil/actions/runs/9044841141/job/24853934290 (I don't have a Mac either, but the github runners seem to have upgraded themselves)

[jacereda]

Something like make CFLAGS="-arch arm64e".

[ndmitchell]

No luck - https://github.com/ndmitchell/neil/actions/runs/9049776301/job/24864280149#step:7:1

[jacereda]

Maybe the same flags must be passed to the linker? make CFLAGS="-arch arm64e" LDFLAGS="-arch arm64e"

[jacereda]

I've pushed a change to acknowledge the passed LDFLAGS.

[ndmitchell]

I fixed this with #51. But now it segfaults, see https://github.com/ndmitchell/neil/actions/runs/10549668929/job/29224963531:

+ fsatrace v - -- echo fsatrace works
/Users/runner/work/_actions/ndmitchell/neil/master/github.sh: line 59: 87934 Killed: 9               fsatrace v - -- echo fsatrace works
Error: Process completed with exit code 137.

I suspect solving this without access to a real machine is probably infeasible.

[jacereda]

Yes, unfortunately I no longer have machines running macOS.

I wonder if something like https://github.com/e-dant/watcher or the alternatives listed there could be a better replacement for fsatrace. Have you evaluated those?
